"Be whoever you are, but be loud. Be completely fearless when you do it. That's the big thing. Just be a fearless person. A fearless artist, a fearless accountant. Whatever you want to be."
I am fearless. For a few years there, my day didn't start that way, it was just a continuation of the previous day's, fearlessness. Without fear of anyone or anything.
Until the day I said (I said),'you have gotten more than you asked for', and walked away. Forever. Without fear enough to look back to see who was behind me.
I have been the one who controls my destiny, although I have very little to do with it, anymore. I have more dignity than bravado, these days.
