Quotes:
  • "“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”"
  • "“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”"
  • "“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same”"
