Don't let people or life beat you down. Press on, press forward, believe in yourself and with whatever success you achieve in life, do the right things and utilize that to better the cause of humanity and those people who's particular plight is not as "gifted" as yours.
Be benevolent, practice a healthy dose of altruism, follow your dreams with passion and reward your friends, family, and strangers, with the compassion and gifts that already exist in your head, heart and soul. Be who you are and live the life you create....and the life you deserve. ~ Vanessa Chaland :)
