#20: Failing Forward with Mary Frances

“Done is better than perfect. Get out of your own way and take the steps then you will see the things you want manifest. Start even when you don’t know what’s around the corner and don’t quit on the hard days, just look at your situations objectively.” 
— Mary Frances
