It's not about the outside, it's the inside. But dressing on the outside can help the inside.

Even a kick in the ass is good when you're facing the right direction.

You can only be connected to others if you are connected to yourself and the truth inside.

Whatever energy you put out there, that's the energy you're going to get back.
