“You have to be brave and optimistic, but not overly confident… If you can feel like you're on purpose and either that you are being inspired or that you're inspiring other people - If you can make it something larger than just yourself, it will get you through some of those darker, tougher times.” - Shaheen Sheik-Sadhal
