Balance lives in the present. The surest way to lose your footing is to focus on what dreadful things might happen.
Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.
Failure is a stepping-stone to greatness.
Follow your feelings. If it feels right, move forward. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it.
Never give up your power to another person.
Do what you want to do, when you want to do it ... and not a moment sooner.
