On April 21st, 753 BC, Romulus founded the city of Rome. It was a small settlement sitting on a hill. Centuries later, Rome was a marvel to behold. It was a bustling city with aqueducts, a Coliseum, markets and commerce.

Just like Rome, you are a great work. You are a wonderful work in progress, growing and developing your unique skills and talents. There is no one else like you, and there never will be.

People have a tendency to copy others so they can “fit in.” Don’t fall for it. Trying to please others stifles your creativity. It’s time to show the world who you are. This doesn’t include their version of who they think you should be.

Keep your eyes on the target, your long-term goals for your life. Keep working. Be relentless. No one can make you quit.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will you be…
