‎Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. - Les Brown

You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.

Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.
