• Just like a camera, you have to decide what to focus on. Are you going to focus on the past and future , or the present? Are you going to focus on everyone else’s success and failure or your own growth?
• One day it just clicks. You realize what’s important and what isn’t. You learn to care less about what other people think of you and more about what you think of yourself. You have realized how far you’ve come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that you would never recover. And you smile. You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the person you’ve fought to become.
