On the SUCCESS Live stage in Long Beach, Simon T. Baily recalls the typical upbringing. He describes a time of discipline that prepares children to enter society successfully, to assimilate along a well-worn path. At this point in life, there are a lot of no’s, with a gentle reminder that the best dreams are realistic.

But if this mindset still clings to you in adulthood, Bailey says it’s time to make a U-turn. The uninhibited brilliance we wielded as children still exists. We just have to get back to it, shifting our brilliance toward experiences that celebrate the individual.
