There is no perfect path, only a perfectly authentic You – full of contradictions, uniqueness and gifts. It is your You-ness that allows you truly to light up the world with your presence. Your You-ness is lifetimes in the making. It is your flaws, your quirks, your weirdness, your ancestral history, your gifts, your humor, and your imperfections. Your light and message will come through you regardless of what path you choose. Your authentic self emerges when you follow what lights you up, or in other words, when you do what you love. And then do it in a way that only you can. Our soul is always calling us towards what will light us up.

Enough isn't an amount: it's a relationship to what you already have.

When we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending.

And yet, I still have boundaries. When someone isn’t respecting me, then it’s over, we have no relationship. I used to need them to like me. I had this codependent relationship with every waiter on the planet. You know that one... Here you are in Wal-mart and you are trying to make friends with strangers. Well hang on a minute, you don’t have to make friends with everyone. It’s respecting that they have a job to do, and respecting that I have a job to do. Then, if you make friends in the process, that’s fine.

Don't let others' inability to see your greatness stop you. Greatness is not deterred by the limited vision, fragile ego or small-mindedness of anything outside of itself. Greatness gets up every day and moves forward. Greatness is not concerned with what other people think, say or do. Greatness doesn't look back to see who is closing in on them. Greatness moves forward, helping others along the way, with eyes on the prize. Go be great. Onward!

If it's not a part of my values system I reframe it for myself in a way that is. I believe in letting negative actions and opinions about me that aren't my own baggage go. I believe in setting the intention of release and if I need to build myself up around an area being pointed out at me, then I do that work myself. I go about giving myself what I need instead of focusing on who or what "isn't doing that for" me.

If you want more or something different in your life you first have to believe it's possible. My wish for you is not my life, but rather one you love so much that you don't measure it to others'. That leaves you waking without anxiety, and doing whatever it is you "know" you were meant to do. Your obstacles are meant to be hurdled, not lived in.
