There are just a few things ... I always say.

 

Know your body! If you are fully aware of how your instrument works, no one will be able to tell you something that is not true for you, and your body. Therefore, there will be no room for “I can’t”, only space for, “of course I can...”

Own your body! Stop trying to be the person standing next to you; claim your differences; understand what you have; use it all to the best of your ability. The power truly lies in what you decide you can do.

Do not allow anyone to lock the lid to your personal box. The only limits are the ones you place on yourself. No one should be able to lock you “down” or “in” their idea of what is enough. You have been given all you need to succeed. You are enough!

The harder you work, the harder you will have to work! When you commit to something, and achieve it, it is never the end. It is simply a new beginning; a new chapter with new goals to reach and attain. It can be done!
