• Face your fears and take chances. Conquering your fears reaches greater heights on the curves of life than failing reaches the lows.
• Don’t reject yourself before giving someone else the chance to.
• Every date doesn't lead to love, every week of hard work doesn't lead to success, and every car ride isn't full of green lights, but finding value and joy in the experience along the way is what makes the difference.
• Keep your eyes on your own paper and do what makes your life — your paper — the best it can be. This is good advice for when you find yourself feeling you're not as good as, or as smart, or as pretty, or as enough as someone else.
• There's being cautious and there's being closed off. Don't let your past make all ...
