I first interviewed Danielle LaPorte when she was just launching the digital version of the Fire Starter Sessions. I contacted her about doing an interview for The Courageous Living Guide on the topic of Luck, Synchronicity and Magical Thinking.

A Life Vision is a sentence or two that expresses the deepest desire for your life. My Life Vision is this: To completely and totally love and accept myself, so that I can completely and totally love and accept everyone else, and thus facilitate healing in the world. I’m not always successful in living my Vision, and it’s unlikely that you’ll be perfect at it. That’s okay.

After having a really loved-filled weekend, here are some thoughts I wrote down in my Moleskine on Courageous Living. Whatever we see in the world, that is us, too. We are not so very different. We are far more alike than we often believe. With courageous hearts, we can change the world.

When we add gentleness along the way and add gentleness to our lives, there’s more freedom to truly (and courageously) be who we are.
