Your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel.

You are responsible for the world that you live in. It is not government's responsibility. It is not your school's or your social club's or your church's or your neighbor's or your fellow citizen's. It is yours, utterly and singularly yours.

Suffice it to say, I'm not poor.
