Quotes by "Kristen Lee"

GET OFF the paved path. It’s way too BASIC for you. There’s AIR to BREATHE. Oceans to FLOAT in. Dances to be DANCED. Songs to SING. Splendor to BEHOLD. Stop WAITING for PERMISSION.

You don’t need to be rescued or saved. You just need spaces that allow you to expand and rebuild.

Show up as the real you. The airbrushed you isn’t sustainable, or even half as awesome.

It’s okay to be messy. Like sunflowers, galaxies, and fingerprints, your life is an intricately designed spiral. Your wrinkles, bumps, and bruises show the world you are a force of nature. Forget linear. When you embrace chaos, it brings its own kind of order.

Stop searching for wizards and wands. Don’t buy into the belief that you don’t have the brains, heart, and courage to make it. Link arms with your fellow travelers and never let go. Hold each other up so that you can see your own magic.

Everything is learning, learning is everything.

The true marker of learning is turning up with more questions than answers.

Being a puppet is overrated. Cut your strings. We are human beings, not doings. Knowing life is about impact, not performance, is the most badass kind of clarity you can have.

Being real is the power skill of the century, but we’re taught to be otherwise in the places that should hold it most sacred: our families, schools, workplaces, communities, houses of worship, and governments.

Perfect is annoying, boring, and impossible to sustain. Knowing how to translate conscientiousness into something beyond the fleeting satisfaction of “me” toward a “we” mindset is the best move you can make.

Be fearless with your questions. Don’t be afraid to get a little muddy. Keep your feet nimble and eyes open for new paths and perspectives. Ready yourself to be moved.
