Be not afraid. Be not a passenger in your life. Be the driver of your destiny. Find freedom in the assurance that your life has purpose and meaning, that you are here for a reason. Find the courage to discover and be your true and authentic self. Then take action. Staying stagnant shouldn’t be an option or a comfy place for you to reside. Challenge yourself to live your best life! Look in the mirror and say I am worthy of living the life intended for me. Then, begin your journey and witness what is manifested… You are worthy!
