“I have always felt safest alone on the side of a hard-to-reach wall or a mountain. Although I understand that I could die in the mountains, I trust the hand of nature, and I know it will do me no harm. People seem to change and do confusing things. Places, on the other hand, I can count on.”

“The stories we tell ourselves,
or that others tell us,
we believe.
Despite evidence to the contrary.
Why do we create a belief that is negative,
untrue, and harmful?
If we could just trust ourselves
to open our minds
and our hearts,
follow our instincts
and challenge our distorted thinking,
we would be much more likely to reach our hidden potential.
If the kaleidoscope could just shift a fraction in another direction,
Everything would look entirely different.”

“Disney animation was sort of like a dog that had been beaten again and again Byron Howard, the director, told me when I asked him to describe the mindset back then. The crew wanted to succeed, but they were afraid of pouring their hearts into something that wasn’t going to succeed. You could FEEL that fear and in notes meetings everyone was so afraid of hurting someone’s feelings that they held back. We had to learn we weren’t attacking the person. We were attacking the project. Only then could we create a crucible that boils away everything that has not working and leaves the strongest framework.
Earning trust takes time. There is no shortcut to understanding that we really do rise and fall together.”

I thought I felt you brush past me
while in-between dream and waking.
Are you the echo of light from a star long dead
or are you True North?”
