You face the biggest challenge of all: to have the courage to seek your big dream regardless of what anyone says. You are the only person alive who can see your big picture and even you can't see it all.

To show us the Christ-consciousness that he had and that conciousness abides in all of us. That's what I got. That's what I got.

Life is a big ol' canvas. And you have every combination of colors to paint with.
