    "Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are. "

      "On my own I will just create, and if it works, it works, and if it doesn't, I'll create something else. I don't have any limitations on what I think I could do or be. "

        "Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. Follow your passion it will lead you to your purpose. "

          "Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have."
