Forget about being impressive and commit to being real.

You can only do what ONLY YOU can do. Do that. The universe will configure around your very best efforts. Willingly.

Being your true self is the most effective formula for success there is.

Make generosity part of your growth strategy.

Gratitude is an astoundingly reliable, immediate way of becoming present.

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.
