“You might have walked the unknown and painful path, but that does not mean you must not pursue your purpose and goals, and thrive for change.”

“No matter how many times life has knocked you down, you must always get up, dust yourself off and continue pushing towards your destiny.”

“Life was not meant to be perfect, but through its imperfections you can find the real you and be happy again.”

“Appreciate where you have been, ugly or unpaved, there was a purpose for you to have gone through everything.”
