Everybody's life matters.
If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are. It shouldn't change you. If you're a jerk, you just get to be a bigger jerk. What fame does is magnify who you are and puts that on a platter for the whole world to see.
You get to know who you really are in a crisis.
Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.
The best of times is now.
Balance lives in the present. The surest way to lose your footing is to focus on what dreadful things might happen.
