15. “ Always be a first rate version of
yourself
”
and not a second rate version of someone else
Judy Garland

16. When you are a second rate
version of someone else:

17. When you are a second rate
version of someone else:
You feel like a fraud

18. When you are a second rate
version of someone else:
You make choices you wouldn’t
otherwise make

19. When you are a second rate
version of someone else:
Inauthenticity breeds anxiety
and anxiety kills creativity

20. When you are a second rate
version of someone else:
You look outside of
yourself for approval

21. When you are a second rate
version of someone else:
You lower expectations
and limit options

22. When you are a second rate
version of someone else:

and self-esteem

23. So where do we start?

24. YOU
Let’s start with

25. YOU
Need to know what you want

26. YOU

to know what you want

27. This is the missing link...
Most people barely scratch the surface,
so they spend their time chasing
someone else’s
dream or vision

28. Your time is limited
so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be
trapped by dogma, which is living with the results
of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of
others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow
your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know
what you truly want to become
Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs
