And just as every person has their own void, their own haunt or their own unanswered question...they also have the power to turn it into a legacy every bit as profound as they make it.

— Ashly Lorenzana

Every seed must rise through dirt to enjoy the sunshine.

— Matshona Dhliwayo

There is no limit to what you can do, when you focus on your strength.
