You take on the responsibility for making your dream a reality.

We have the responsibility to put our gifts to work.
The person best suited to look out for your interests is you. The more you depend on yourself, the more positive control you have over every aspect of your life.

You have GREATNESS within you!
You have GREATNESS within you, and responsibility to manifest that greatness!
Our things are not overpriced. I have travelled a lot and I have seen prices of good garments sell for a lot overseas. For instance, overseas you will see linen pants for US$250, but no one will buy a linen pants for that price out here. So I know that price is not the issue.

Believe that you possess a basic goodness, which is the foundation for the greatness you can ultimately achieve.

Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you.
Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.
