Don't let people intimidate you into downgrading your goals. They intimidate only because they are intimidated by your goals.

Goals and dreams are not purposed to please others. I'd rather be the jester who adds value to those around me than a King with no vision or intention of making a difference.

If people aren't on board with your dreams, there is still that one man canoe. Sail on and slay on with it.

Yesterday was just the tip of the iceberg of awesomeness. Things will get better. Keep smiling, don't give up just yet. Perseverance has an amazing gift for you, just wait you see.

Do not be obsessed with expensive things.
Instead, be obsessed with excellence.
Things don't make you excellent.
However, excellence will make you expensive.

Be bold in pursuing what others believe is unrealistic because this will achieve more than being bland and unimaginative.
