so be prepared for a bunch of posts about him. I love his voice. I think he’s got incredible integrity. And well… being a 6'6" cowboy he’s definitely got my attention. ;)
Joy, integrity, anxiety and self-acceptance
following is my super quick and rather chaotic picks from here i sometimes tampered with things and added my own little touch:
‘Joy has to do with a lifting of ego boundaries, a relaxation of defenses, permission to be and to reveal oneself, an opening of the self’

“Integrity is not a painfully upheld standard so much as a prolonged and focused delight”
(integrity) is not mere duty and performance.
Integrity from the standpoint of psychotherapy is not a matter of holding up a charade to the world, fooling others or oneself about who one really is.
(recipe to joy): By entering into a loving relation to with the self, we delight the self, and the self’s delight passes through us as a pleasure we can feel and enjoy and even scatter.
Integrity balances and restores and steers us out of difficulty and reminds us that things are not as they should be.
