everyone is endlessly fascinating if you know how to watch and listen and ask questions
celebrities are fascinating because we watch and listen to them and pay attention – but everyone is just as fascinating as the most famous, incredible, heroic celebrity if you watch and listen
to pay attention this deeply to who someone is, how they show up in the world, what their past and dreams are, is an act of tremendous love, healing, and potential
the earth and social fabric shake with awe and delight and possibility from this kind of attentive love
give it to everyone you can as often as you can, it is a gift to the person you attend to, to yourself, and the world
this is why people want to be famous- so they can be perceived and loved so deeply
but we can give this attention as an everyday gift to everyone we meet
the extent to which you are willing to pay this kind of attentive love to yourself is the extent to which you are willing and able to give it to others
you are incredible, beautiful, lovely and fascinating, in your history and your hopes, for your most powerful strengths and even in your weaknesses and mistakes and imperfections- you have so much potential to grow in yourself + serve others, and I love you so much
