Don't worry about where you are or what you have or even what you think you want. Take one step at a time and worry only about only this - who you are - who you really are.

Remove the mindless distractions from your life and focus on the things and people that matter the most to you. Follow your heart to discover what makes you happy, never let go of it, never devalue anything that is beautiful, and build a life that lets you be yourself.
