Be simple. Be direct. Be clear. Don't worry about being correct. Worry about being real.

About This Quote

When people hear this quote, I am sure they hear the simplicity in it. They also tend to agree with it. The message seems very simple. Not worrying about being correct and worrying about being real.

I believe that often times when we say this, we are thinking about it from a place of abundance. We have all been taught from a young age that when we do things the right way then we will succeed in life. The world is a scary place, and the idea of being wrong in front of others is a scary thought in itself.

However, when you talk about being real instead of being correct, I don't think many people actually understand what you mean. When people come across this quote, they think that by avoiding making mistakes and doing things the best way possible then they will be successful in life. In reality, you can be so present and so clear in your thinking that you become authentic to others and thus become successful in life because you are who you are and not what others want you to be.
