Sadly, I have met very few people who have a plan for their life. Most are passive spectators, watching their lives unfold, one day at a time. They are reactive rather than proactive. They may plan their careers, the building of a new home, or even a vacation. But it never occurs to them to plan their life.

Because the more authentic we can be, the more impact we can have.

Honesty is making our words align with reality. Integrity is making reality align with our words.

Fools take criticism and dish it back. The wise take it and turn it to their advantage.

Lead with a personal story. Give your audience a way to connect and show you're a real person.

Things don't happen to us. They happen for us.

Amateurs write when they are inspired. Professionals are inspired when they write. This is a subtle but important distinction.
