- Authenticity: Be true to yourself. Don’t feel pressured to fit into a certain mold; embrace what makes you different.
Set Boundaries for Self-Care

Lead by Example and Inspire Others

Remember, being a badass doesn’t mean not having a heart. Enjoy what you do with passion unapologetically and being okay with walking the grey area between right and wrong. But always making it a fact to care about those around you. You’ll get that moniker of badass and/or caring simply by being you. Embrace the balance and live confidently as both a strong and caring individual.
Do Juxtapose at Each Moment
Do not let your tongue match your actions, be bipolar! Contradict your actions and words, speak like caring and do like a bad-ass. If you can develop comfort with it, it will soon be your normal way of behavior.
