Write yourself a permission slip to be surprised by someone's potential. Who knows? One day that person could be you.

Run towards that very thing that you fear, because there's amazing blessings on the other side.

I was homeless for a little bit. I was on people's couches, but it was an amazing journey. I got to make people laugh all the way.
