Luck is a choice. Every day, you choose whether your fortune will be good or

bad. Surround yourself with the world you want to be in, be open to possibilities, and be willing

to take them on in your own unique way.

adversity will determine whether you will profit from misfortune or be miserable.

Those who go far in life never stop exploring, for they know that ‘there

is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

Insight #7

If you let your gut be the godfather, directing and prioritizing your business,

but you let your head be the consigliere, advising and strategizing execution, you won’t

be making decisions with blind confidence. You’ll be making smart choices before

you understand why they’re smart.

Insight #8

“I was born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection.”

Rejection may hurt, but it’s never personal — it’s God’s way of saying that you’re

headed in the wrong direction. Change it.

Insight #10

“The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves. They want to be 50 Cent or someone else. They do what everyone else does even if it doesn’t fit where and who they

are. But you get nowhere that way; your energy is weak and no one pays attention to you. You’re running away from the one thing

that you own - what makes you different. I lost that fear. And once I felt the power that I had

by showing the world I didn’t care about being like other people, I could never go back.”
