Knowing who you are is the greatest wisdom a human being can possess. Know your goals, what you  love, your morals, your needs, your standards, what you will not tolerate and what you are willing to die for. It defines who you are. I have learned not to obsess over being number one all the times. Sometimes not being number one gives you the incentive and the courage to fight harder; it is motivating. Have patience. Have grace. Be secure enough in yourself to base success on personal growth.

Take at least twenty minutes every day to be still and quiet. Time to sit in complete silence. Think. Reflect. Dissect your thoughts and feelings. Relive any mistakes from the day before. Decide how to be smarter and tougher, how to be more committed and considerate of others and more sensitive and aware of your surroundings. Choose something you learned that will make you a better person.

Choose to be happy and positive. Live like the blessed human you are.

Define you.

Knowing who you are allows you to create your own beautiful legacy.

“If we have goals and dreams and we want to do our best, and if we love people and we don’t want to hurt them or lose them, we should feel pain when things go wrong. The point isn’t to live without any regrets, the point is to not hate ourselves for having them… We need to learn to love the flawed, imperfect things that we create, and to forgive ourselves for creating them. Regret doesn’t remind us that we did badly — it reminds us that we know we can do better.” - Kathryn Schulz

The real power of music. Have You ever feel it? I’m sure You have. We all felt it when we were upset, thrilled or had any kind of emotions. This power is one of the most amazing ones. Nothing to add.

Actions speak louder than words

“I have no problem with homosexuals my best friend is one” says the Tumblr/Facebook/Twitter user, causing angels to descend from heaven, playing gorgeous harps, and drape them in garlands of flowers. This is proclaiming him/her the number one gay rights activist of all time, literally incapable of homophobia, infallible, and the winner of all internet arguments until the end of time. He/she is filled with the light of pure social justice righteousness, and the next coming of Jesus Christ.
