“Confidence is like wearing a superhero cape under your everyday clothes. It's the secret weapon that makes you feel unstoppable, even on days when you're just winging it. So, rock that messy hair and embrace your awkward moments like they're the latest fashion trend. After all, confidence isn't just about knowing you can handle anything; it's about laughing in the face of challenges and saying, "Watch out, world, here I come!”
“Ultimately, end goal
—be the best of who we are
think not of obtaining trophy or power
but the experiences that make memories
to better understand humankind
—be both earthly and of spiritual realm
not by force or authoring control
—but server to common good”

“I did believe that I could opt out of feeling vulnerable, so when it happened - when the phone rang with unimaginable news; or when I was scared; or when I loved so fiercely that rather than feeling gratitude and joy I could only prepare for loss - I controlled things. I managed situations and micromanaged the people around me. I performed until there was no energy left to feel. I made what was uncertain certain, no matter what the cost. I stayed so busy that the truth of my hurting and my fear could never catch up. I looked brave on the outside and felt scared on the inside.”
