Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.
Launch and learn. Everything is progress.
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.
Surprise your doubts with action.
Enthusiasm is the DNA of making things happen.
When you put your preferences on the altar of your life and say: THIS. THIS is what compels me. The real you emerges.
