#1

Donnie Fitzpatrick, a basketball coach and career counselor at a high school north of Vancouver, has interviewed more than four thousand students over the years. He has found that the ones with the best grades and the most impressive college applications seem to well up the most.

#2

Anxiety is becoming more and more common, and is causing harm at unprecedented levels. We are all using prescription drugs to cope with our anxiety, and this is causing more harm than good.

#3

When you see someone you love losing themselves, it can be extremely difficult to deal with. You may feel shock, confusion, and rage. You may feel grief that you can’t go back and fix it for them.

#4

The author’s experiences at school and work pushed her loves away from her, until one day she was unmoored and fighting the food on her plate.

#5

The most important skills that will help you live the fullest life aren’t in any curriculum. They’re missing from high school, college, and work, which are built to distract your attention from your own unique loves and loathes and make you believe that your only challenge is to fill your empty vessel with the required skills, knowledge, grades, and degrees.

#6

Your life didn’t start out this way. You were made with love, and your parents intended for you to be happy. But as you got older, you were introduced to the world of work, which was equally fixated on how full your vessel was and how much fuller it could be.

#7

The pragmatist view is that schools and workplaces should not be concerned with your loves at all. They should instead focus on producing uniform outcomes. The value of your unique pattern of loves is zero when viewed from this perspective.

#8

All of us are different, and treating everyone the same generates as much inequality as treating different things differently. It’s up to each of us to make changes and put love back into our lives.

#9

Someone who knows what they love but never gets the chance to express it is missing out on a life half full of opportunities not taken and uniqueness that is unexpressed. You are a passenger in your own life if you never take action in it.

#10

Your love language is the language you need to learn to help you understand and appreciate the fullness of your life. It’ll help you know which choices to lean into and which to avoid. It’ll help you understand and appreciate the fullness of your life.

#11

The first word you should learn in this language is Wyrd. It is a noun, meaning that each person is born with a distinct spirit. Your spirit is unique to you, and guides you to love some things and loathe others.

#12

Your Wyrd is so interwoven into your sense of self that it can be difficult to figure out what it looks like. You can discover your Wyrd by trusting in your loves. Your loves, whether they are specific feelings or activities that bring you joy, are the best clue to your Wyrd.

#13

Your Wyrd is your best guide and resource if you want to change something about yourself. It is a complex combination of loves and loathes, and it is the source of all your success. It is not caused by your experiences growing up.

#14

When you see someone do something with excellence, there is always love in it. When someone makes something with love, you can feel the emotion woven into the creation. Love and resilience, love and forgiveness, love and creativity, love and collaboration are all connected.

#15

The purpose of your work is to help you discover what you love. The purpose of love is to help you learn where and how you can contribute: love is for work.

#16

I had two amazing siblings who were both gifted in different ways.
