Letting go of the need for perfection releases a burst of energy - and guess what - you may accidentally do a good job.

Like the pioneers of old, a creative person breaks new ground daily.

Your job is to create. Their job is to try to stop you. Don't do both jobs.

Believe in your flyness...conquer your shyness

It's always freezing on planes.

No rules according to the Universe. You provide the feelings of having it now; it will respond.
