• In Yourself

  Do not attach your self-worth to someone else’s success.

  You have to live your own life.

  You have to have your own successes and your own failures.

  It is a mistake to believe that someone else’s success is a reflection of your worth.

  Likewise, it is a mistake to feel bad about yourself because of someone else’s failure.

  Help others along the way, but be sure to forge your own path.

  Find your worth in yourself because everything else can be lost or taken from you.

• Deciding And Becoming

  If you make a decision about who you want to be, you only have to make it once.

  Now it is time to take action.

  Every day, when you wake up, you don’t have to think about who you are.

  The decision has already been made.

  You simply have to do the work to prove that you were serious.

  Do this work day after day without exception or excuse.

  You become who you decide that you are.

• Waiting To Be Picked

  Do not wait around to be picked.

  It may never happen.

  You might find yourself waiting around forever, hoping someone will notice, lonely and disappointed that they never do.

  But you have a right to participate.

  You do not need permission.

  Step up and be yourself without hesitation or shame.

  You are not going to get an invitation; this is your invitation.

• What Others Think

  Be careful not to view yourself through the eyes of others.

  It is okay to be sensitive to what those around you feel.

  But your experience of life is uniquely your own.

  What you think and what you feel is as real and important as what others think and feel.

  Do not let what other people think about you, or what you think they think about you, alter your course.

  You have to know yourself, love yourself, and be yourself in spite of outside influences.

  In the end, no one looks back at their life wishing they had cared more about what others thought.

• Better Than Yourself

  It is important to be yourself.

  Sometimes, however, your self is a jerk.

  Sometimes your self makes things worse.

  Sometimes your self should be quiet.

  Sometimes your self needs to listen.

  It is important to be yourself.

  Sometimes, however, you need to be better than yourself.
