“Be good to others and live out life with the goodness of your heart. Don't worry about how someone might perceive something you do, if all you are doing is striving to pursue your happiness and live out your dreams. Of course, keep this within the bounds of morality and sound judgment, and know that it is better for you to worry about the Judgment of the Creator than it is for you to worry about the judgment of the creation. Live your life to spread good and forbid evil, and focus on pleasing the Creator by doing your best to take care of His Creation. You may get ridiculed, you may be shunned, but what hero have you known that was always accepted by his/her people? You will never be accepted by everyone. There are too many varieties of people for that to be possible. Instead, spread happiness and search for the good in people. And even if you don't get noticed or credited, know in your heart that you're a hero.”

“Throughout my life, I've always tried to make myself unique. I didn't like to get mistaken for a stereotype. I figured that the first thing I had to focus on was my appearance, because it's only natural for people to judge a book by its cover before really looking into its pages. As years went on, I continued to try my best to look different, but realized that I would always look similar to some group or another, to some degree. That was also when it dawned on me that sure, there are lots of guys out there with the dark hair, light brown complexion, trimmed beard, brown eyes, medium build, tall, half-decent looking, etc., but what will make me memorable in this life and after I'm gone is not what I look like as much as what I did for the world and what I stood for. We don't know what life is going to bring our way, but we do know that it's on us to do our best to be of benefit to the world. Live to spread goodness, and build a sincere and soft heart. God-willing, you will be remembered; you will leave a legacy.”
