Keely Chaisson: "Be kind to yourself. Stop telling yourself that whatever you are struggling with “should” be easy. If something is hard for you, it is hard for you. There are probably Reasons, though those may just be how you are wired. Acknowledge these things. When you finish something hard, be proud! Celebrate a little. And really, just stop saying “should” to yourself about your thoughts and feelings in any context. You feel how you feel. The things in your head are the things in your head. You can’t change either directly through sheer force of will. You can only change what you do. Stop beating yourself up for who and what you are right now - it isn’t productive. Focus on moving forward."

Don't seek an answer if you don't have the courage to know and strength to accept it. Be prepared first.

Fear is nothing but the anticipation of pain. Whether it's physical, mental, spiritual or emotional.

Money says: Earn me, forget everything. Time says: Follow me, forget everything. Future says: Struggle for me, forget everything. God simply says: Just remember me. I'll give you everything.

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.

Small minds can't comprehend big spirits. To be great, you have to be willing to be mocked, hated, and misunderstood. Stay strong.

People too weak to follow their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours.
