• Your life is not little, and your playing small doesn’t serve
  the world. Your living large, on the other hand-your being
  your true self despite fear, fatigue, doubt, and opposition-
  will serve the world more than you can imagine. In fact, it
  may help save it. And saving the world, after all, is
  what all heroes (including you) are here to do.

• The effect of emotional venting is to sustain an unsatisfactory status quo. Most people think the opposite, that complaining is part of an effort to change an unsatisfying situation. Nope. Complaining lets off pressure so that we neither explode with frustration nor feel compelled to take the often risky steps of openly opposing a difficult person or situation. Keeping emotional pressure tolerably low doesn't change problematic circumstances but rather perpetuates them.
