I’m in love with this sentence:
“Every pattern in your life repeats until you learn the lesson. The moment you choose differently, the loop ends and growth begins.”

To burn out is better than to fade away. Better to be consumed by passion than by regret.
Apply yourself. Commit fully. Leave little of your potential unexplored.
Not every pursuit will succeed, but few things are more tragic than a life spent wondering what might have been.
