Life-altering lessons
- Don’t bottle up your emotions, become self-aware and explore your emotions. Find an outlet such as writing, meditation, or talking to a friend.

- Seek excellence, not perfection. Focus on realizing excellence, the best version of yourself despite your flaws.
- Dare to be yourself – in your strengths, skills, and beauty as well as your flaws and insecurities. In doing so, you can realize your true strength of spirit.
