Success always has a price; success, with integrity, is the real bottom line.
Motivation is an inner force that compels behavior. Your inner drives will propel you further and faster than external perks.
If you are not doing what your passion is, you are putting it on layaway.
Success is not a resting-place - it is a launching pad.
Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect, changing, growing and worthy person.
No gift can ever replace the value of being there in person.
