There's this idea out there that beauty has a standard. The idea that somewhere, someone or some group of people, get to decide on what and who is beautiful. Same for success. You "should" do this or that, you "should" be this or that...

I call bullshit. And I'm here to say smash that idea to smithereens.

You are your own standard of beauty. You define your own success. You are the only you. There will never, ever, ever, be another. Unique. Like no other. Never to exist again.

The odds of being born are something like 1 in 400 trillion. You are a living, breathing miracle.

What, on earth are you waiting for?

You get the incredulous honor of creating your own life. You are at the helm. It is your ship. You only get one journey, and if you are imprisoned by "shoulds", you are the one holding the key.

It is not always easy. But there's too much at stake to spend another moment in hell thinking your not enough. Take the first step. More than you can even begin to imagine or wish for is on the other side.

I’d love to hear from you. Your thoughts on this, your experiences, your worries, your concerns…
