This week, my inspiration comes from Judy Garland (via this excellent post over at Problogger.

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”—Judy Garland

Stop doing things because they’ve worked for other people.

Stop trying to be the next Gala, the next Dooce, the next Swiss Miss, the next Tracie.

Just do your thing. Do it well. Do it 200%. If you don’t, everyone can tell.
