“But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness and compassion. It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life’s about.”
― Jack Canfield, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: Stories of Life, Love and Learning

“You didn't just find a self out there waiting. You had to make one. You had to create who you wanted to be.”
