Be your true self, and not who you think others want you to be. Live your life for you, and not to please someone else. The only comparisons you should ever make are between yourself yesterday, and yourself today. You should never feel like you need to compare or compete with others. You are unique, just like everyone else. Above all, you need to take care of you first, so you can be mentally and physically healthy and happy, and that will enable you to live by example, and be there for others.

Let’s talk about the word FEAR, as this seems to be a common roadblock for many of us. One definition of FEAR is- False Evidence Appearing Real. No one can predict the future, so focus on living in the present, and that will better prepare you for whatever the future may hold. Do not FEAR the future, instead welcome the opportunities that await. Don’t let the FEAR of what could happen, make nothing happen. If you always do what you have always done, you will always be who you have always been. In other words, if you change nothing, then nothing will change. Do not FEAR storms, instead, learn how to better sail your ship. There are only two days a year that nothing can be done- yesterday, and tomorrow, so let’s focus on the present, today, right now. Everything you want is on the other side of FEAR.
