If you want the best things in life, you have to create them for yourself.
A great business? A fantastic relationship or family?
They take *your* effort & investment.
The best things in life aren't free, they're earned.
Start working on them.

Sometimes, the greatest battle is not with the people around us but with what is happening inside us. You can have a good heart and still need God to work on your attitude, your thoughts, your reactions, and the things you struggle to control.
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.” Van Gogh
Your value is inherent
Steve Jobs on following your heart:
"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary."
