Right. You are what you think about all day. I live my life in the moment and to the fullest as much as possible. Learn as much as possible. Focus on the good things, exciting things, happy things. I don't permit my mind wander onto the bad things, fearful things, bullshit things.
It's all about what you focus on. You will carve your own way when you decide to take your life in your own hands.
But carving your own way ain't easy, and that kind of life is full of doubt and fear. That's where your faith comes in. It takes a lot of pressure to make a diamond, and if you never give up, it will be well worth it when you become that diamond.
