Changing yourself...

 One of the most difficult things is not to change society - but to change yourself. 

- Nelson Mandela

Ignore them...

 Ignore them, don't listen to other people. Live a life that is empowering to you. 

Solving problems...

 Remove the branches of a thorn bush today and you'll avoid a scrape this year. But next year, you'll face the same problem again. Remove the root of the bush today, and the entire plant will die. Are you solving problems at the branch level or the root level? 
 

- James Clear 

 

How often...

Giving affects not only the one you give to, but also you, the giver. Therefore, it's not only important how much you give, but how often.

Art...

 Without uncertainty, there is no art.
- Sting

Just one person...

 To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world. 

 

— Dr. Suess

In the shadow...

 Being in the shadow can often allow you to see beauty not otherwise seen in the light.
