I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt.

You have got to decide, look, this is who I am; this is my best way to present myself, and I'm going to ride that horse to the finish line. Not everybody will like it, but that's OK.

Do you realize that you can't play the game of life with sweaty palms?

Know your goal, make a plan and pull the trigger

Be your authentic self. Your authentic self is who you are when you have no fear of judgment, or before the world starts pushing you around and telling you who you're supposed to be. Your fictional self is who you are when you have a social mask on to please everyone else. Give yourself permission to be your authentic self.

It's so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

Take the high road, there's a lot less traffic up there.
