Even as a kid, my memories are of books taking me out of myself.

You become excellent, and when you become excellent, no-one can take that away from you.

If you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.

You were seen, you were heard and you matter.

You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.

Don't get confused with what people say you are, with who you know you are.

The thrill is to keep envisioning what can be.
