We shouldn’t ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. It encourages them to define themselves in terms of work.

Who we become is not a question of career—it’s a matter of character.

The highest aspiration is to be a person of generosity, integrity, humility, curiosity, and wisdom.

Uncommon advice:

If you don't know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.

You made it, you own it

Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.
