If you want be happy, simply be you. Do not try to be who you are not. Because you are who you are for a reason.

According to Jessica Zweig, ‘Authenticity is rebellion, and the world needs someone to lead the revolution. It’s up to leaders, experts, authorities, change agents, and game changers to come together to lead with Love, Light and Service. It starts with you, simply being you.’

‘Massive success is simply a compilation of daily micro-actions. Keep yourself accountable to these daily acts with your Accountability Partner.’

‘If clarity is king, consistency is queen, and the key to your memorability.’

‘Don’t judge or project your negative perceptions onto your competition. At the same time, don’t allow yourself to feel inferior or intimidated. Let your competitors inspire you by showing what is possible. If they can do it, you can too.’

‘In the space between your vision and your reality lives your strategy.’

‘Be a star. You deserve to shine. It’s really that simple.’

‘If you do not believe you deserve recognition, accolades, awards, spotlight, and success, no one else will. You must first decide you are worth it. It is only when you align yourself to the vibration and embodiment of worth that you attract the opportunities you seek. This is how dreams become a reality.’

‘Tell your story by rocking what makes you feel good.’

‘It is our birthright to live a life that feels good to us. You can’t find this behind your desk, but in the vast wide open edges of your life. The real magic comes when you journey there, in some way, every single day. You deserve to live free.‘

‘Be uncomfortable. Comfort zones keep you safe. They also keep you small.’

‘When you meet your fear, you find your power. When you push past your edges, you become unlimited. The sky is the beginning.’

‘You’ve gotta simply be you.’

Remember that you are responsible for your career. If you want to grow your career, you must take action to make it happen.

If you do not do it for yourself, no one is going to craft it for you.

According to Tessa White, ‘If you want something, don’t come at it from why you want it. Come at it from why the company benefits from it.’

‘You are part of the problem. You could have a better work experience if both you and your manager were communicating.’

‘It’s easy to think that everyone else in the workplace can’t communicate, but I’m convinced you are part of the problem.’

‘The conversations you are avoiding are the exact conversations that can give you back a sense of control at work.’

There is nothing as humbling as realizing your blind spot limited your view of the one person thought you knew best of all- yourself.’

‘Every single piece of feedback you hear about yourself, whether neutral or negative, needs to be taken seriously. It’s a wastered-down version of how you are actually perceived.’

‘If your manager hasn’t indicated you are a top performer, you aren’t one. Top talent gets told they are top talent.’

‘Walk through the front door of feedback instead of waiting for it to come to you.’

‘Go where the low-hanging fruit is. Pick the gaps where you can win.’

‘If you want to gain influence in your company, become the expert of your industry, your competitors, and your company. It doesn’t require an advanced degree. It requires only your curiosity.’

‘You won’t have influence until you stop believing it’s everyone else’s job to figure everything out.’

‘You won’t grow in your career if you can’t get comfortable with conflict.’

‘Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s the wrong job because it’s hard.’

‘The mistakes you make will feel big, but they are a great education you’ll carry into roles where the stakes are even higher.’

‘You have accountability for results by working with people you don’t manage and who may not be incentivized to cooperate with you. It’s like herding cats, except the cats have to actually go in the same direction.’

‘If you don’t champion for what you need, you won’t get what you need.’

If you want your career to grow, you must take action to make it happen. And you can make it happen. Do not give in to fear.
