"Finding your passion isn't just about careers and money. It's about finding your authentic self. The one you've buried beneath other people's needs."
"The measure of a man comes down to moments, spread out like dots of pain on the canvas on life. Everything you were, everything you'll someday be, resides in the small, seemingly ordinary choices of everyday life.....Each decision seems as insignificant as a left turn on an unfamiliar road when you have no destination in mind.
