This is a continuation of the on-going list of 17 "acts" for authentic living, sustainable leadership, and simply "getting out of your own way" that started on January 14^th, click here to read that post.

16. Be you. No one else can do it. And energy flows best when you skip the energetic resistance of trying to be someone you're not, or hiding that beautiful quirky someone that you are.

17. When you fall…get back up. Hey, we're not perfect….(thank God), and we all make mistakes. We all have down days. We all have unintended impact from time to time. When it happens, recognize it, acknowledge it, forgive it, and then do whatever you need to do to shift it (say sorry, learn from it, "clean it up", fix it, own it, even wallow in it for a bit if it's part of your process, etc.)…but for goodness sake, get back up!

NOTE: If you’d like the paper with a comprehensive list of all the musings that we’ve made complimentary for our private DTE community, please email us at Info@DareToEngage.com and we’ll get you set up. Thanks!
