THE FEELING

“Put your goal in front of you.
I have mine written on my
bathroom mirror. This will help
you to start believing it and start
to feel what it will feel like when
you’re Diamond.”

“Sometimes just getting that
paycheck may not be enough
for you. It might not drive you.
What I wanted to feel as a
Diamond was being capable of
empowering thousands of lives.”

“Most of us are not after
Diamond; we’re after the
feeling that being Diamond
will give us. I wanted to feel
the accomplishment and
fulfillment of having changed
that many lives.”

“It’s OK to feel lonely and to want to quit. It’s just a feeling.
Do something different in that moment—physically shift your body,
call your mentor—and recognize your inspiration again.”
