I spent years hiding my body art in business settings because I felt people would make certain judgments about my intelligence or business acumen. (I also hid that I fought and hid that I loved lifting, for the same reasons.)

It wasn’t until I was on a beach for vacation that I randomly bumped into a high-ranking executive at a bank I was doing a deal with that all of this changed. I saw him first and immediately wanted to hide. Of course there was nowhere to go — it’s a beach… As he saw me and waved, I braved for the inevitable perceived judgment. Instead I was greeted with “Cool tats! My wife just got a new one.” Wait – what!?

So much of the narrative we feed ourselves is flat-out false — and not fairy tale false. The kind of false that breeds fear. The false that paralyzes and limits us. If we’re going to already lie to ourselves, we might as well make those falsehoods constructive!

At the end of the day though I believe it’s all about surrender. Just give in. Be who you are. You control way less than you think you do. And no matter what you look like, are into, etc., you can’t shape people’s opinions of you anyway …and in the end, they don’t really matter. #BeYourself http://ift.tt/2yrjLpN

via IFTTT In case you missed GMA this morning, I shrugged my shoulders and held my hands like I was serving soup as I gave some real life #selfdefense tips. I’m sure they’ll post it as some point if you’d like to see how to apologetically pass a bowl of chicken noodle. ????

Being from #NYC I’m often asked where I was on #911 (#september11). It was a pivotal day in many ways for many people. Here is my story. Even in the most tragic and darkest circumstances there is still sometimes a way that that light can still shine. #neverforget http://ift.tt/2xVJ5UE
