You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. — Dale Carnegie Be interested in others. Ask them questions about them. Get to know their actual state of mind, their…

Long story short: don’t give yourself time for excuses. Not even an amazing one (these are the dangerous type). — When you break trough your fears, your vulnerabilities, your insecurities — you unleash your true potential and shape your authentic story.

As it turns out, stress is not caused by the things you say; it’s rather caused by the things you fail to say.

So write freely. Write as you please. Write yourself down. Follow your wtiter’s intuition. Copying other writers is such a waste of time. Because they already spoke their truth; you’re merely putting your spin on it and that is the best case scenario. But you most likely won’t have a voice. …
