“Being brave and self-confident doesn't necessarily start inside… It starts with the rest of the world, and it leads back to you.”

“When the world you live in
really gets you down,
when you feel a pain inside you
starting to pound,
and the girl you love,
she doesn't want to know,
let an old friend, as a godsend,
lead you to where peaceful waters flow”

“If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence you have won even before you have started.”

“You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.”

“Even if you have been neglecting your body, you'll find that our cells are so much more forgiving than we are. The second you start loving your body, it starts loving you back. It doesn't hold grudges. As soon as you start feeding yourself better emotionally, spiritually, and physically, everything responds in the positive.”

“Being brave doesn't meanhaving to fight alone.”

“Life is like a train…. it doesn't wait for you…. so you better start running.”

“Starting well doesn't mean succeeding.”

“This is the world as it is. This is where you start.”

“Having faith in the future starts with building confidence in one's self, being honest with one's self, and having the courage to live one's life, not perfectly, but authentically. Each one of us matters. Our choices matter. Our thoughts, words and deeds matter. Live each day with joy, and embrace the opportunities that will enable you and your community to grow and blossom.”
