“It takes courage to up and become who you really are.” “To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.” “We can never see past the choices we don’t understand.” “That would never work in the real world… the real world isn’t a place, it’s a justification for not trying.” “Are you fit company for the person you wish to become?” “The elevator to success is out of order, but the stairs are always open.” “Follow your bliss and be what you want to be. Don’t climb the ladder of success only to find it’s leaning against the wrong wall.” “I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.” “The self is not something that one finds. It’s something one creates.”
