It's been another year of full-on courageous living , and here's the official recap of my top 10 lessons learned.

If you've asked yourself how to change the world and come up short, here's where you begin--stop the war within. While that might initially seem like simply an exercise in the individual self, it can have collective repercussions.

I spent 15 seconds on an elevator, and the people who shared that elevator with me made up an entire story about who I am (at least, that was how it seemed—I just don’t know). This got me to thinking about how often we can be so sure that we “know” when in truth? We just don’t know (and that’s okay).

There's wisdom in not needing to be right . In fact, it’s a huge relief—a weighty pressure that gets released when we realize that we don’t need to be right, don’t need to find and know and share all of the answers. If you want to change the world, stop making people wrong.
