Don't complain about what you don't have. Use what you've got. To do less than your best is a sin. Every single one of us has the power for greatness, because greatness is determined by service-to yourself and to others.

Purpose is the thread that connects the dots to everything you do that leads you to an extraordinary life.

You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.
