People love people who try. Case in point, Ball's assertion that: "I'm not funny. What I am is brave."
And you'll love yourself more for trying too. As Ball famously said: "I'd rather regret the things I've done than the things I haven't done."
Kick ass in an arena no one even expects you to be in. As the co-founder of Desilu, Ball became the first woman to run a television studio.
Life is easier once you accept that sometimes days are just like this.
Be your real self—even if you invented it. One of Lucille's most famous quotes is: "Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead." But she was a natural brunette. :)
