Paths to Success.

Admit to your mistakes, but never apologize for them. They are part of you. Don't say you're sorry for a mole. It may be a freckle that you haven't yet given a chance to grow. You will never make excuses for a single hair out of place. Say this out loud. By putting this speech into the world, you will internalize its meaning. That message will undergo the process of becoming part of you. This process is a natural. Do not say you are sorry for a new part of you. Every snowflake must determine what it is about itself that makes it worth distinguishing from other forms of precipitation. Say this out loud.

Say this out loud:

"I am a gentle creature, worthy of existence. I would not harm a fly on your head. There are mysteries to discover. I will discover those mysteries. I may not solve them. This may be my fault, it may be someone else's fault, but it is the way of nature. When I sing it will be from my chest and not the back of my throat. This will create a richer, gentler sound that is internal to itself, made of me, and worthy of my existence."

Edit your work, but never change it. Think about what you say, but never correct another person's diction or syntax. Always imagine yourself in glowing light. Dress well. Eat the center of foods. Eat to their centers. Consume life. Understand what you can. Live all day. Sleep at night.

This is like a song to me.

My favorite: "Eat the center of foods." This will be a litmus test for success today and everyday.
