										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Reader,</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re no good at your craft. Maybe you aren&#8217;t as creative as you think you are. Maybe you have no talent. Maybe you&#8217;re doing all this work for nothing. Maybe your business will never grow. Maybe your future will be filled with failures.</p>
<p>Or maybe you are good at your craft. Maybe you are creative. Maybe you do have talent. Maybe all your work will pay off. Maybe your business will grow exponentially. Maybe you will find many successes. Maybe you will see failures as opportunities.</p>
<p>Never spend time worrying about what might happen when you can control the decisions you make. Never spend time thinking about negatives as though they are facts. Every experience is waiting for you to choose a side: good or bad. Will you turn your experiences into something inspirational, or not?</p>
<p>You are as powerful as you believe yourself to be, for all of your collective memories, experiences, and dreams are in your hands and yours alone. Do with them what you will, but remember how precious they are. They belong to you only, so treat them with respect and reverence.</p>
<p>Create and dream and live with power. Do so with passion and love. Treat yourself with respect and all of your experiences will be more meaningful. Life is a rich series of events. Do not follow them along or chase them in circles, but build them with your own two hands and believe you can make a life worth living for yourself.</p>
<p>Too often we live our lives in fear of the future because of the <em>maybe</em> that everything will fall apart. But, just maybe you will live the life of your dreams. And if we do away with the maybe entirely and recite an<em> I will, </em> that is far more likely to happen.</p>
<p>I will live my dreams.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Passionate</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
