You give your power away when you make someone or something outside of you more important than what is inside of you.
Put aside ambition for public recognition, and simply do what you do because it feels good inside.
The best way to get what you want is to realize you already have it.
Teach yourself freedom with the same zeal that the world has taught you limits.
You can only see in someone else what you see in yourself.
Ask for peace first, and you will clearly see your next step.
