shared with me by one of my working colleagues: Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. -William Jennings Bryan Free From Worry Stop worrying about being perfect. Just be sincere, honest and authentic. Stop worrying about what might or might not happen at some future time. Put your energy and attention into connecting with the richness of right now.
