Foundation

Get your foundation right.

If the ground you stand on is not stable. 
If your confidence, accountability, and self-awareness are not set in unwavering stone.
NOTHING you can or will ever build will last.

Get your foundation right. 
Whether it is a future, family, a community, a friendship, a business, or an empire.
If what you build is not based in an unflinching certainty of your own ability, your own authenticity, and your own personal clarity.
You will, inevitably, watch what you build prematurely crumble. 
I rarely speak in absolutes.
That said, mark my words on this one.

Get your foundation right. 
Do your inner work.
If you feel you could use help, find the tools. Find the content, the techniques, the community, or the support person you need. Then DO. That. Work.

Tune out the noise.
Your inner voice. Your intuition. Your wisdom. Those are what matter on this one. You are the highest authority on the subject of your own process. 
Build yourself up. Tell yourself the truth. Love yourself, from top to bottom and from shadow to light. Illuminate yourself, of not publicly, inwardly. 
See yourself with unabashed clarity first, and foremost. 
Get your foundation right. 
Believe in yourself. 
Love yourself. 
Everything else will follow.
