“Don’t stress over something you can’t change. Don’t live in the past when you’re in the present.

“You don’t have to be large to be strong. Strength comes from a place deep inside us. It’s the ability to deflect pain, to persevere when failure hits you in the face like cold rain. It’s refusal to break under someone else’s reign. It’s a lot of things. Size is irrelevant.”

“Your fire. Your passion. Your ferocity. Your strength. All those things make up who you are.
