You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

And how do you know when you're doing something right? How do you know that? It feels so. What I know now is that feelings are really your GPS system for life.

No matter who you are, no matter what your culture is, it is absolutely possible to look out and extend yourself in such a way, that you can connect to other people and find that we are more alike than we are different.
