“Do you have some kind of dream or vision for your future? Are there things that you would love to see happen in the days, months, and years ahead of you?

As long as we know who we are, we don’t have to be overly concerned about what others think of us. Once we know who we are and accept ourselves, we no longer have anything to prove. When we have nothing to prove we can relax and be at ease in every situation.”
