We are not born with a certain amount of resilience. It is a muscle, and that means we can build it.

There are times to lean in and there are times to lean on.

We are more vulnerable than we ever thought, but we are stronger than we ever imagined.

You will be defined not just by what you achieve, but by how you survive.

Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of option B.

You are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. Like a muscle, you can build it up, draw on it when you need it. In that process, you will figure out who you really are — and you just might become the very best version of yourself.

What would you do if you weren't afraid? Take a moment and ask yourself that question. And then go do it.

Your life's course will not be determined by doing the things that you are certain you can do. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard.

Believing you can do something is the first step to doing it. Don't let anyone put limits on you. Don't put limits on yourself.

There is no straight path from your seat today to where you are going. Don't try to draw that line. You will not just get it wrong, you'll miss big opportunities.

We don't always see the hard truths, and once we see them, we don't always have the courage to speak out. The world was not equal then, and it is not equal now.

The first time I spoke out about what it was like to be a woman in the workforce was less than five years ago. That means that for eighteen years, from where you sit to where I stand, my silence implied that everything was OK. You can do better than I did.
