Remove those 'I want you to like me' stickers from your forehead and, instead, place them where they truly will do the most good -on your mirror!

At the bottom of all our fears is simply the that we can't handle what life hands us.

So commit! Commit yourself to pushing through the fear and becoming more than you are at the present moment. The you that could be is absolutely colossal.

Patience means knowing it will happen . . . and giving it time to happen.
