Brandon Sanderson: "The journey of an entire people can change because of the actions of one person."

Stay away from people who belittle your goals. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel like you can do anything.

If you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself get a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer - because there’s something inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit.

We all make mistakes. We have to simply remember to forgive ourselves and keep moving forward in order to progress.
