Frances Hodgson Burnett: "Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow."

Maturity is being able to apologize and admit when you're wrong because you know that your mistakes don't define you.

Nothing you’ve been through is ever wasted. Your past experiences, good and bad, have deposited something inside of you. Those challenges have sharpened you to help make you who you are today.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and focus on what could go right.
