You Are a Badass®: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

As Albert Einstein observed, “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Watching someone else totally go for it can be incredibly upsetting to the person who’s spent a lifetime building a solid case for why they themselves can’t.

It’s none of your business what other people are doing. All that matters is that you’re enjoying yourself and pleased with what you’re creating.

And by declining to participate in other people’s drama (i.e. refusing to rip people to shreds, to complain about how unfair the world is, etc.), you not only raise your own frequency, but you offer the drama queens the chance to rise up too, instead of everyone continuing to play a low, limiting game.
