Don't let 'em stop you from smiling!

Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let 'em stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
Cause in the dark of the night you're all i can see
and you sure look like a star to me

Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

What other people think about you is none of your business.

"...Not only is there no way we can possibly control or influence how others think of us, it's a tremendous waste of our energy to do so. You understand that how someone treats you is a direct reflection of them, not you. When someone is rude to you, that’s on them. When someone lies to you, that’s on them too. Neither the Universe, our parents, our government, our best friends, our significant others, nor anyone in-between owes us anything. Don’t take anything personally, free others of the responsibility to treat you exactly right, and you’ll free yourself to live authentically as well, not worrying about how you’ll be judged or perceived, only about how you feel from the inside out each day."

You're your problem and you're also your solution

I want you to stop gathering information from the outside and start gathering it from the inside

Socrates: Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs.
Dan Millman: Let me guess, and you want me to believe yours.
Socrates: No, I want you to stop gathering information from the outside and start gathering it from the inside.

I have not failed. I've just found 10 000 ways that won't work.

'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?!”
