Champions are made when no one is watching. But you’re going to have to bleed to do it because there’s always someone else out there working just as hard. 

I truly believe that. There’s no need to boast; when people see the difference, they will speak up for you. Keep dreaming; you should fight everyday to get better at what you do.

I made this for myself last night:

I was lost for a bit. I invested too much into someone else who didn't appreciate it and lost my sense of value for a second.

But I'm fine now! Don't let your yesterdays ruin all your tomorrows!

Focus on yourself; the most important character!
