Have you ever heard of SMART goals? It’s basically the idea that your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time Bound. Meaning, you should know exactly what can actually accomplish; it should be meaningful to you; and it should have a deadline.

Rules are for suckers.

COURAGE doesn’t mean we are never scared. Courage is ACTION in the face of fear.

Make a point of practicing imperfect action—do one thing each day just to do it, not because it needs to be “right.

Your principles don’t need to be elaborate or even completely original, but they should ring true to you and fit within your own set of core beliefs.

When you make a conscious choice to stop worrying about all the ways you might screw up and focus instead only on what you can learn from the experience, you give yourself the power to simply try, regardless of what the outcome will be.

It’s not always easy to write your own rules, especially when you are most comfortable with following other people’s rules.

The only way to truly overcome your insecurities and fears of not being capable is to start proving to yourself that you actually are capable.

It’s okay to have your own opinion and for other people to disagree. Disagreement doesn’t mean they don’t like you.
