"The first and best victory is for a man to conquer himself.” -Plato

The relationships we have with the world emanates from the relationship we have with ourselves. The doubts, fears and distrusts we have of ourselves project upon the world and become our reality. By conquering the self, overcoming the paradigm of limitation, one will be able to embrace the world for what it is, rather than imposing our characterizations on it. The attributes we wish to see in others we should first see in ourselves. The overused cliché "be the change you wish to see in the world”, is a profound truth that is often heard, but not truly comprehended. Success, is a twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week affair. Whether in the light of day or the darkness of night one should wage a struggle to conquer them.

"Without confidence and without heart you have nothing.”

-Allen Iverson

If one does not have the courage to believe and fight for one's life's calling, what does one have? The answer is nothing. There is nothing left, if the battle to achieve mastery over oneself is not waged. Subjected

to the tides of popular opinion and the whims of fashion one will be, without the foundation of personal courage. Confidence and heart are the tools in which one utilizes in the manifestation of one's dreams. All a person really has is the legacy in which he/she leaves behind. It is imperative to find the courage to leave your unique impression upon the world.
