MY LIFE PHILOSOPHY
I am a courageous person by nature. I have
simply discovered that, at certain key
moments in this life, you find courage in
yourself, in order to move forward and live.
It is like a muscle and must be exercised,
first a little, and then more and more.
I’ve become known as a good storyteller,
which, purportedly, makes one a fabulous
marketer and developer of business.
I see no difference between weaving a tale
and living my life.
All the really exciting things possible during
the course of a lifetime require a little more
courage than we currently have.
A deep breath and a leap.
