If you are wasting time and energy trying to be as much like everyone else as you can, you are throwing away something precious: your individuality. When you embrace your difference, your DNA, your look or heritage or religion or your unusual name, that’s when you start to shine.

You're alone in your ideas, because you're the only one who knows what's possible.

Exercise is like an old friend: You may not be able to see that friend all the time, but you're not mad when you see them, you're happy, and you get right back into it.

Love yourself and don't settle for less than what you deserve.

Never assume someone is smarter than you.

Life is hopefully long, so I don't know what the future will bring.

You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them.
