Kindle Notes & Highlights
I am not the outcome. No one is. I am my effort, what I put on the table. That’s it.
Outcomes are dependent on forces far outside our control.

And if the outcome doesn’t match your desire, you won’t crash in the process. Instead, you’ll walk away with the lessons learned and go on to create far greater things.

When we work on ourselves, on knowing who we are, what we stand for, what is real — our truth — we have no choice but to live it. And in that process, we will live the greatest version of ourselves.
