Dr. Seuss: "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."

No matter how long you have traveled in the wrong direction, you can always turn around.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.

Go after what excites you, even if it frightens you a little.
