You must be worthy of the best, but not more worthy than the rest.
If you have real, internal value, you don't need a loud, expensive imitation.
Contentment is for cows; a challenging purpose is for people.
You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.
Better to seek change by inspiration, than out of desperation.
The world is a mirror and reflects back your expectations. What you get is what you see.
