Self Discovery

When someone you trust sees your potential and says they believe you can be that person, it opens up a path and inspires you to become that version of yourself.

Life will absolutely not be what you think it will be. It will be hard and wonderful and messy and rewarding, with more versions of you than you think possible.

Don't miss your life on the way to work.

Measure your success by how much you evolve, not necessarily how much you win.

Pick what you think is the best path and just move forward.

You are more than one thing. You are more than many things. You are everything.

You are not your circumstance. Where you start out in life doesn't have to determine where you'll end up or just how far you can go. Only you can determine your distance.

Most of the shadows in one's lifetime come from standing in one's own sunshine.

My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life. And being embarrassed when you mess up, it's part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it, that's a gift.

What did you do with your life? It is my sincere hope that you will begin a 50-year journey that allows you to answer quite simply: I made a difference.

Dream big. Envision yourself. You can be a leader in your industry, or you can be the leader of a state. There is nothing stopping you.
