I learned from my mother that there is a greatness in all of us, and that all of us are delivered to this world with a mission. I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom. You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change. ― Les Brown

As you look at your life look at your goals and dreams, it's better to be prepared for an opportunity not have one than have an opportunity and not be prepared.

The thing that empowers you—the possibilities—come from within. ― Les Brown
