"Confidence is highly correlated with innovation and success"
"We took some swings and hung them up all over bay area and it blew up. It was named by creative Tampa bay as the best idea to make tampa bay a better place to live...All you need to do is just start!"
"So, we created Swings tampa bay and started hanging swings at random places like a highway overpass. Everyone driving underneath you at 60 miles per hour can see just this random person swinging in the middle of the sky"

"Are you hurting yourself or are you hurting others, those are your guardrails"
"99% of human development is internal perception of the external world"

"Is my life worse now as a blind person than before? No, you dont get it. I'm grateful to just be alive."
“I live in a brand new 3,500 sqft house but my father is homeless and has been for years. It's hard but I've accepted he prefers it that way.”
"I haven't heard from any of my friends since the accident. Not one. I'm much more careful about who I choose for friends. Friendship means something different to me now. Jay is a real one. I can call him anytime and I know he's there for me."
“I miss living in the hood. Growing up I'd step outside and they'd be 100 people on the street. Addicts, dealers, prostitutes….I cant be around them any more. But we were family."
“I rely on my other senses because that's all I have. I can feel someone's presence and pick up their vibes better than before"
"Yes, I'm totally blind but I can still pee standing up…accurately."

"If monks do not participate in worldly activity (that is fun, entertaining, exciting), why did you decide to become a monk? Are you happy with that decision?"
"Is science and reason opposed to spirituality?"
"Monks are known for their extreme focus. How can we become more focused in our own lives?"
"Every wave has a cusp, perfection is when there is no wave"
"What is the point of meditation? What is the point of religion, it seems to cause a lot of problems like wars. Is belief in God necessary?"

"Pick a painting and tell a story around what you see. Why did you pick this painting?"

"Relationship issues are childhood issues in disguise"
"We live longer, healthier lives when we focus on feelings and needs, not opinions"
"Lot of our spending habbits are emotional, people don't like to admit this"
"Use first names. We want to be known/recognized"
"We often mask vulnerability by speaking in second person. Own your opinion"
"Vulnerability fosters connection"
"Do not think your feelings, feel your feelings"
"The opposite of depression is connection"
