This is maybe the first generation of children to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

Don't underestimate the power of 'thank you for bringing that to my attention.' I will work on that.

Nobody can give you the identity you want. You have to determine what it is, and you have to validate it yourself.

Because the answer is; I can do anything

I learned to organize the priorities in my life because—trust me—there’s nothing like a timeline to get a fire going under your butt.

I learned to let go and I learned to forgive.

I realized that every single hard moment of my life had another side to it, and that I could see it if I would only let myself see it.

Definitely get out and have lunch and get away. Because it is very important, it resets your brain. Getting through the trough period—the only way to do that is to get out and go for a walk.

The gap between expectation and reality is where pain lives. And that's what we're scared of admitting. It's that we had an expectation, and it bumped against reality. And it hurt.

"I wasn't born to do this work; I survived to do it."

It's not going to be easy. But it's going to be worth it.

What we’re doing is we’re using all of our creativity, and all of our bravery and honesty and courage. So I ask you, in your next project, in your next effort, how can you do this? How can you help us see and feel the future? See something distant and far away?

Why does it work? Again, we’re carrying our trash. We’re helping people see the delayed and distant implications of their actions in a way that is meaningful, that touches hearts…and helps compel people to action in some powerful way.

After playing the game, 83 percent were more likely to take action on climate.

People get creative in a game. They play, they experiment, they try new things, they get big, they get bold…And people are seeing, how do they depend on each other. They need each other. They work together to solve this big problem.

The Buddhists say that the illusion of separateness is the source of all our suffering… If that’s the case, could the experience of interdependence be the source of our joy?

In this world, there’s no away.

When cause and effect are distant in time and space, we don’t learn. We don’t know how to respond and improve our actions.

I’m going to tell you two stories of games that have helped solve this exact problem. Playful, competitive interventions into the world - games - that help solve complex problems. And then I’m going to ask you to do more than you’ve ever done to take the actions that will avoid these big problems that we’re seeing. Because we can do it.

"The news is 24/7. What's not 24/7 is how do I make sense of the news? Why is it happening? What's your point of view about why it's happening? Help me understand how I, as an individual, organize my mental framework for the news that is going on around me."

Relationships are necessary to form our own identities. In other words, we are responsible for one another.

Creativity doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

As individuals, you can never determine meaning in and of yourself. If it doesn’t require some sort of outside structure to give meaning to your life, it does require relationships.

One of the great values of our age – especially to millennials – is authenticity. Because we have the ability to create our own meaning, that means we have to make authentic choices within our lives.

Celebrate your wins along the way.
