Smile, Sugar.

Confidence is quiet. Insecurities are loud.

There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself.

We do not need magic to change the world; we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.

Imagine that you are stuck on a long train ride and must choose one of two books to read in order to pass the time: the first is a novel whose main character is an office worker who is essentially working to pay his monthly cable bill; the second is about someone who decides to travel in South America (and of course encounters various setbacks in the process), but who pushes beyond the boundaries of conventional American life. Which book would you pick up to read? Indeed, which of the two characters would you rather be?

Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder.
