There is nothing worse than settling for less than you’re worth. When you settle, it means you think so little of yourself that you have refused what is best in order to have what’s comfortable.
Once you say YES to your purpose, there will come a time when it feels like everything is working against you. Everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong and at that moment, you’ll want to quit. Do this instead.
I've been having a lot of conversations lately about the "impostor syndrome". For some people, it's that feeling of recognizing the greatness that you're a part of and wondering how you got to be a part of it. You leave a conversation and you play it all back—you watch your lips move in slow motion with all these brilliant minds watching you and you wonder...Do they know that you're just you?

If you find yourself going from one life situation to another and everything stinks, it’s time to ask yourself how you’re contributing to those situations.
There's a look that's been haunting me lately. Actually, it's more than a visual thing, I see it and I feel it. I ask someone how they're doing and I can see the tension in their faces. Even when their words say they're okay, their reactions and the energy surrounding them tell a different story. I'm sympathetic because I recognize that look in myself. I've gotten used to that look.

Embracing this one thought will strengthen you. It will transform you. It will free you.
One of the most poignant lessons I've learned is that the more you dare to walk your path, the more you dream bigger, to step outside of the norm, to use your gifts and thrive; the more you are vulnerable... the more you become exposed to other people's criticisms and opinions...

The next time you utter the words “I AM”…take a pause and feel, not think your way around what that really means. So many of us are trapped in the identities the world has created and we’ve accepted. It’s time to wake up and remember.
I was recently speaking to a dear friend who's in limbo about what's next in her life. She's often spoken about her dream of launching her own product/business but every day, I watch as she goes to work, comes home, hangs out and does it all again the next day. I watch as she shows up for other people and other activities, I watch as she chooses everything but her dream. Every time we talk about the obstacles around starting this business, from the financial commitment to not having enough time or the right contacts, my answer is the same to her ―"you don't want it badly enough".

Technically, he's a drunk. He loves 3AM to 5 AM strolls and when he strolls down my street, he really enjoys yelling profanities and racist slurs. Based on his 4AM "TED Talk" a few weeks ago, he is blonde hair and blue eyed, Donald Trump is his president and he hates black people. It's not the first time that this man has made an appearance over the past few years. The cops have been called many times, he comes back and then after a while, he disappears...
