You can be whoever you want to be and become whoever you would like. Believe in yourself. Trust in yourself. You will succeed.

It all starts with a passion that you follow, with an idea that you develop and put into action, a dream that you chase, and your work put out there for others.

Everyday you are bombarded with what you should be doing with your life.

How you should be making money, how you should be dressing, how you should be learning, how you should be thinking, how you should be crying, how you should be talking, how you should be living.

The ideas, dreams, and intentions of others are not meant to live inside you. You can let the right ones in but not everything.

You are yourself and to achieve happiness and peace with who you are you must be able to silence the World. Find your own voice, wants, and dreams.

Happiness comes from loving what you do and loving who you are. You can not live without the other. Find your passion first, then find the means to make a living from it.

Your passion will make you want it bad enough for you to find a way to make it. Your passion is your greatest strength.

You can be whoever you want to be and become whoever you would like. Be firm. Stay true to your beliefs. They are fundamental when it comes to overcoming challenges.

Your values are there to guide you through your life and through the World. If you follow those values, you will not get lost. 

For what it is worth: it is never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There is no time limit, start whenever you want.

You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it.

I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view.

I hope you live a life you are proud of, and if you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Some people were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people dance.
