Every day, in some way, we're all being prepared for something better.

I bring a loving presence to everyone I meet and everything I do.

I am patient with my needs, kind with my words, and respectful of my soft places.

I am a shining star, and I surround myself with people who encourage my brightness.

I have tremendous empathy for people who are faced with any kind of a chronic problem. Sometimes when we're in this situation, it's as though our mind has us believe that if we ruminate about the pain we'll find a way out.

How is your life limited by your fear? What are you not doing that you'd really like to do? When we use fear to our advantage by tackling those things that evoke a sense of excitement and trepidation, fear becomes and ally. Each experience provides a challenge and an opportunity to expand your comfort zone. The way to create an extraordinary life is to make the challenge of fear work for you by building your courage muscles.

Leaders stand out. Good leaders succeed. Great leaders make a difference in the world.
