Do less, better. Pare down your to do lists to the essentials and then put your heart into accomplishing those essentials well.

It doesn’t cost money to bring goodness to the table and the more generous we are with our goodness the more goodness begins to s...

Nobody should miss an opportunity because they were too afraid to speak up. The way I look at it, is you may as well ask, cuz the worst that can happen is they tell you no.

Self trust is the key to self confidence so one of the worst things you can do to harm another person is by causing them them distrust themselves.
