Keep It Simple

1. There is no secret to being successful. It’s about consciously living your life every day and setting concrete goals.

2. You can never go wrong by just being yourself (albeit the best version possible).

3. Learn from the best. Pick your mentors and idols wisely.

4. You are your most valuable brand. Hold yourself to the highest standards.

5. It’s okay to do it all. Just do it all well.

A true mantra… K.I.S.S. is one of the things I constantly remind myself, that and “if it doesn’t fit, don’t force it.” Great post

“It’s okay to do it all. Just do it all well.”

i love that one. i often have concerns about doing too much or being a ‘jack of all trades, master of none.’ but this sums it up perfectly.

lau: I feel the same way…it’s a difficult balance and if you do more than on thing, you have to work way harder. But I hate it when people encourage you to chose just one path in order to be successful. Where’s the fulfillment in that?

word! simplicity is great :)

I really like the last one. There are so many things that I want to do that it seems impossible, but I found this to be very encouraging.

Also I wanted you to know that I have been reading your blog for a while now and I love it. I’ve learned so much from it and have even gotten into graphic design because of it. Thank you!

I may have to print this out and adhere it above my computer where it can stare me in the face and not let me forget it!

Did you make that font yourself? if so do you know of anything similar? If not, what is it? It looks like the perfect font for my tattoo!
