“It’s what brings me the most joy: making something of my own and having other people believing in it so much that they incorporate it into their life.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to start something because it looks so big. Just start. Even if it’s sketching your ideas out. Or writing it out. You have to start at some point, somewhere. I think maybe a lot of people don’t start because they’re afraid to fail. You’re probably going to fail. A bunch of times. You have to go with it.”
“If you don’t take action, you’re always going to regret it. Don’t think of yourself today; think of yourself 10 years from now. You’re always going to regret what you didn’t do. If you don’t do it, you’ll always wonder ‘What if?’ If you do it and it doesn’t work out, at least you will know that you went all in.”
