The world works hard to strip away your identity. It tells you how to define yourself (possessions, career, looks, race) and what to care about. The most personal gift you own is the ability to create your own set of Values & Beliefs, whether it's based on religion, common sense or philosophy. The main thing is to believe in something, and to make that belief the core of who you are.


What good is it to stand for something if you don't live it? Without goal- and purpose-oriented action to back up values, they fade into empty sentiment. Pursue a life that you believe in.
