Something Extra:
“I really think it’s to believe in oneself and then your inherent gift that you’re here to bring that no one else can, and that even if you can’t uplift the whole world, you can do one thing every single day and to really appreciate the power that you have and the value that you have and how important it is the world needs your very existence here.”
