“Come Boldly.”

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

—Henry David Thoreau

It's time to take confidence where you feel weak. It's time to turn to your weaknesses and failures with and eye to the future and say, “You're here. I may not be able to change that. So let's see what I can do with you.” Just because a part of you looks like a weakness doesn't mean it is. Turn it into a strength. It's all you, baby.

Let's change the way we think.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some; it’s in all, everyone. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

—Nelson Mandela

This speech was given in, what, 1994? Why hasn't the whole world acted on it yet? Mandela is right. We are whoever we want to be. It's never to late to be something. Be anything.

Come Boldly. Speak your mind. Listen to your heart. Watch for the day.

Be the voice of reason in a world without rules.

Always exemplify the person you wish you were. It's the only way to become what you want to become.

Where you have weaknesses you cannot eliminate, change. Make yourself your best. No weakness is only a weakness when you know how to bring yourself down into the depths of humility, accept what you cannot change, and rise from the dust with weapons of confidence.

Moses had a speech impediment.

Helen Keller was deaf and blind.

Stephen Hawking can hardly move or speak.

What can you do?

I know this was a short one, but it's a quick concept. When you look at the people around you, what are you waiting for? How are you not your best? You are a Masterpiece.

Work with what you've got.
