For anyone with an independent streak, check out Choose Yourself. It was a great encouragement. The point of it is that you can no longer rely on others to determine your success or failure. Want to write? Start a blog. Sing or Produce? Upload it to Youtube. Photography? Try Instagram. There are no longer gatekeepers to stop you. You just have to Choose Yourself.

Two of my favorite quotes:

The best ideas come from collisions between newer and older ideas.

Success comes from continually expanding your frontiers in every direction—creatively, financially, spiritually, and physically. Always ask yourself, what can I improve?

#Girlboss is a simple tale of grit, passion, and work. Sophia Amoruso ate out of dumpsters and rejected most of conventional society for a long time. Then she sold vintage clothing she found thru a MySpace store. And Nasty Gal was born. It was just for some extra cash. Food. Rent. She lived it. She breathed it. And she is now worth nearly $300 million by some accounts. Read this book and be inspired.

Two of my favorite quotes:

What I know now is that nothing is universally boring—what’s boring to you could be totally engaging to someone else. If you’re bored and hating it, it’s a big sign that you’re most likely just in the wrong place.

Confidence is more attractive than anything you could put on your body.
