“Good teachers help you believe in yourself, rather than cultivate a belief in them. They teach you to connect to the divinity within you.”
“Your sensitivity opens up six sensory world. It s connected to the other side. If you block your sensitivity, you block what s coming in from the other realm. The thing is to be aware that you re giving your power to the outside world, and to start giving it to your own inner world or to your higher self.”
“You have to push people s boundaries and not feel bad about it. No one is going to give you anything if you don t ask for it.”

“We believed we were supposed to cope as best we could. As we talked, we realized the disability itself was not that big a deal for us. We had all learned to accept our physical limitations. What made life difficult was not the disability, but the lack of services and support, the lack of accessibility, the unfair and stereotypical ways in which we were treated, the pity doled out for us all our lives. Often, after a meeting, I wrote my thoughts down in a notebook. It s not my fault that I m disabled, yet I ve been made to feel that it is, I wrote. My polio never made me unhappy; people made me unhappy. Ever since I was a little girl, people have always made me feel I was no good because I was disabled. From Sicilian women and the nuns to the doctors who couldn t fix me, to my fellow students and prospective employers... and even my own parents. As I wrote, my tears fell and stained the pages - tears of anger, of relief and of new hope.”

“Catapulting change requires meticulous leadership that is mindful of all those elements that are seemingly trivial to most but produce positive outcomes that hit us as hard as tsunamis. It’s the sort of leadership that empowers and engages people to move deep with themselves, and yet it mobilizes them with others in a manner that is coordinated, collaborative, and cohesive. These are fostered because leaders have the innate ability to make you feel that you are working “with” them not “for” them in such a way that motivates you to spring off the mattress each morning to make meaningful contributions because you feel valued, respected, empowered, and connected to an overarching goal.”
“In school, there is always a bully that gained the class s attention by using fear and abuse. At the time, his tactics won by getting the class s attention - and those who followed him either saw his way was working or were fearful of his retaliation, so went along with it. Eventually, his way faded because as his peers grew up, they found fear was only a state of mind that could be replaced by something more constructive, that the system would punish his behavior, or that others did not like his way and together as a group banded together to not be bothered. It is the short road of the bully that never wins in the end. For many, what we learn in school continues on into adulthood. The bully may still haunt us from time to time when we feel vulnerable, but the long road remembers the system is our collective rights, the banding together are our individual communities, and replacing fear with constructive thought is maturity.”
“Removing all the hair of your body it s OK if that s what you want to do. Just as much as keeping all the hair on your body it s OK if that s what you want to do. - you belong only to yourself”
