QUOTES

• “When you try to fit in, at what cost?”
• “Everything starts with a seed. You plant your little seed in your garden and as it grows, you grow out what you want to grow out. If you put a bad seed in the ground, you're going to grow weeds.”
• “When you stand in your purpose and you know who you are, you let stuff roll over. You don’t care about what people say about you, or how they feel about you, they don’t want to be around you. You don’t care.” 
• “When you live in your purpose, people don’t understand it, because you’re totally on another level.”
