The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud

Follow the path of the unsafe,

independent thinker.

Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy.

Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot'

than the stigma of conformity.

Never forget; only dead fish swim with the stream

There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:

This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think,

feel the way I feel, love the way I love. I am a whole complex package. 

Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away.

Do not try to make me feel like less of a person

just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be,
and don't try to change me to fit your mold.

If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.

When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad

- you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.

You just have to do your own thing, no matter what anyone says.

It's your life.

Don’t ask what the world needs

Ask what makes you come alive,

and go do it.

Because what the world needs

is people who have come alive.
