The world doesn’t hand you outliers; it hides them in plain sight, among the clutter of mediocrity and failure. To find them, you have to train yourself to think differently. Take more chances.

Life's journey is inherently challenging, requiring us to constantly push against gravity—whether that gravity is self-doubt, external obstacles, or the weight of our past.

Mensaje para mi:
El valor que resides en ti es incalculable, y no depende de ninguna circunstancia externa ni de la aprobación de los demás. Eres suficiente, tal como eres.
En cada paso de tu vida, recuerda que cada decisión que tomas, cada camino que sigues, define quién eres y quién te convertirás. No te avergüences de tus errores. Son la prueba de que estás intentando, aprendiendo y creciendo. Cada error es una oportunidad para mejorar, para cambiar y para aprender algo nuevo.
Recuerda que no estás solo. Estás rodeado de personas que te aman y te apoyan, incluso cuando no puedes verlas. Permítete aceptar ese amor y apoyo. Permítete ser vulnerable. Permítete ser tú.
Finalmente, se amable contigo mismo. A veces, eres tu crítico más severo, pero también tienes el poder de ser tu mayor aliado. Habla contigo mismo con la misma amabilidad y compasión que le ofrecerías a tu mejor amigo.
Estás en un viaje, y no siempre es fácil. Pero te prometo que vale la pena. Estoy aquí contigo, cada paso del camino. Creo en ti.
