- Trust thyself. Every heart vibrates to that iron string. Your intuition is wiser than you think.
- Imitation is suicide. Don’t live someone else’s life. Your genius lies in being fully, originally you.
- Speak your truth boldly. What you believe deeply today may evolve—but don’t hold back for fear of judgment.
- Great people live from the inside out. They ignore applause or criticism—and follow what feels divinely true.
- Your consistency is courage. Be who you are—even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.
