True happiness comes from within. When we stop looking for social proof and trust in ourselves, a certain magic happens. You are the most important person in your life, and, we are one.

It's so important to always be yourself. If you do that, you will be successful as you, instead of worrying about trying to conform.

He who does not tire, tires adversity.

The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it

A true beanie should have a propellor on the top.

For me, I understood the gift of being able to empower others and to not do everything yourself.
