- for the past 33 years I have looked in the mirror every day and asked "if today were the last day of my life would I want to do what I am about to do today". And whenever the answer is "no" too many days in a row I know I need to change something.
- your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
