Gratitude is like love or fresh air - you can't get too much of it.
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.
Your success will be determined by the quality of your relationships with people.
Start leaving what you want to leave. Your future is waiting.
The best place to begin is always with gratitude.
The foundation of a good relationship with intentions & goals is keeping in mind that the primary aim of setting and working toward them is to feel the way you want to feel.
