If you follow your bliss...the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.

Don't do anything that isn't play

You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.

It takes courage to do what you want. Other people have a lot of plans for you... Follow your bliss.
