I sometimes fail because I dare to move forward. I’ve never chosen the easy way, because I could never be content with being ordinary. Of course, this has, and will, bring me trouble. I get judged and backstabbed. People turn their backs on me because it’s safer to follow the crowd than to do what’s right.

I’m often asked why I have so few friends, or why I seem to be working 24/7. The simple answer is that I always knew normal wasn’t for me, and I’m willing to accept all the consequences of that choice.

I’m humble in learning and striving to improve every single day, yet I won’t settle for anything less than greatness. Life has taught me so much about people, and I couldn’t be more grateful for these lessons. I know who I am and what I give to others, and for the true ones around me, I couldn’t be more grateful.
