I’m going to do this but your brain says, ‘I don’t know how.’ And then you stop. All the greatest leaders in the world know what and why they want it. Gain the how from the who has already done it." ~Tony Robbins “What are you waiting to be picked for? We often are waiting to be picked or to be paid, but what if we decided we were living as if? Start being the person you are meant to be. Be right here, right now. Start being them. Stop waiting. If you want to change careers, start doing that thing you’ve been dreaming of in your own time. Learn about it, read about it, get nerdy about it. Act as if.” ~Gabby Bernstein "It's not the journey, it's the destination." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
