"[They] function from the deeper core of their being - those who do not attempt to appear more than they are, but as simply themselves, stand out as remarkable, and are the only ones who truly make a difference in the World... Their mere presence, simple, natural, unassuming, has a transformational effect on whomever they come in contact with." 

- Eckhart Tolle
