“Try not to compromise. So many people don’t do what they really want in their hearts because they feel like they’re not good enough, or they’re not smart enough, or they’re not talented enough… anything. And that doesn’t matter. In order for you to live a remarkable life — in order for you to live a life that is fulfilling — you need to be able to go after what you want. And if you don’t, you’re not going to achieve it — ever.”

“Today may be your last chance to be you, someone you forgot to completely immerse yourself in because you were too worried about the details.

No object, no product, and no brand can provide you with ultimate, infinite satisfaction.”
