"I have never met someone who is living a bold and successful life--and by successful I mean prosperous, kind, and in touch with the meaningfulness of what they?re doing -- who has apologized for being perfectionistic, mercurial, unrelenting, or whatever their slightly controversial hallmark characteristics are.
You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge.
Apologize for mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone -- profusely. But don't apologize for being who you are."

I constantly refer to Danielle Laporte and her thoughts on living and passion. This post stopped me in my tracks. Her edgey and honest style continues to draw me in. We are uniquely designed and gifted. . . "if you round out your edges, you lose your edge". Her ideas aren't necessarily unique but the way she guides the practical application is. Her words are liberating. . . "you will always be too much for someone". And the way she connects kindness, generosity, and meaningfulness with success is inspiring.
