“Every second you spend holding someone else back is time not running the race yourself.”
“You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.”
“But every once in a while, from out of the blue, someone reaches the quiet place where you spend your private time and changes the way you see yourself”
“You're going to spend more time with yourself than with anyone else in your life. You want to spend that whole time fighting who you are?”
“Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.”
“never be a second-rate version of someone else, be a first-rate version of yourself”
