How would you live if you already achieved everything you wanted in your career?
Would you be more generous?
Would you contribute some of your time and money to organizations you believed made a difference in the world?
Maybe you would be more gracious with strangers.
Would you walk up to people you respect and start a conversation?
Check this out…
There is a fallacy that when you reach stardom or whatever it is that you dream for – that then you would really start living.
Listen up my hos and pimps – It doesn’t work that way.
The false belief is that having reached a certain level would give you an inner permission to be your generous self.
No.
You have to make the leap now.
Be a star now, and the universe will recalibrate to support you.
When you go into your next meeting, know you have arrived. Cause you have.
Stars get discovered – not made.
Have fun!
Love,
Josh Pais

AAAAAH,Josh,this could not be more in time as it is NOW. You are a star, thank you so much! Steph.
Stephanie says

I. LOVE. THIS. POST!!!! I just met a few stars yesterday. Not only were they gracious and lovely, they were really good at general conversation. This is something I’m going to work on. I tend to be shy around people, especially people I’m intimidated by, and this can come off as indifference or snottiness. I’d like people to see the me my friends see. Going to get my coffee at the corner store now. My assistant is busy. ; )

Couldn’t agree more Josh! I also believe there is a false belief amongst women that you have to be beautifully stunningly perfect looking too – I almost thought you were going to talk about that. I see all these adorable and interesting girls trying to hide what makes them quirky and unique – trying to blend in with the status quo…But I digress – Thank You – You’re a Star to me for sure. As am I! 😉
Josh says
Great point.
The planet needs each of us exactly as we are.
Andy Schneeflock says
BRILLIANT!!!!
Laura says
This is seriously awesome! Thanks for the reminder, Josh!
Matt says
Yes sir! There is no destination so no need to worry about your arrival. There is only the journey, filled with precious momentary experiences. If we truly “arrive” anywhere, it’s a place called “I’m back.” I hope to get there often 🙂
You sir… are awesome! Keep teaching/writing/speaking to remind us.
Josh Pais says
