You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.

If this is something that you really want to do, if you believe in it — simply keep forging forward because success will come.

Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.

You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.
