The secret to success: Do what you say you're going to do.
Determination can be a battle or a thrill. Choose to be thrilled.
My friend and coach reminded me this week that there is a moment when the acrobat lets go of one trapeze and is completely suspended in mid-air before she catches the incoming rung. You have to let go to get there.
You will fail. At some point. More than once. Guaranteed. Proceed anyway.
Your curiosity is your growth point. Always.
You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge. Apologize for mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone - profusely. But don't apologize for being who you are.
