If you allow yourself, the world would tell you who you are, how you should look, and talk. I know it\u2019s tough but please be your authentic self.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s so much going on in the world that every minute you spend living someone else\u2019s life, you rob yourself of happiness.\u00a0Don\u2019t do things to impress but to make you happy. Remember those who love you don\u2019t need an explanation.<\/p>\n

I have friends who change cars every year but don\u2019t own a plot of land and have to beg people to pay their rent. I have used the same car for seven years but I\u2019ve at least made progress in certain aspects of my life, like not paying rent.<\/p>\n

I know we are all different, and a car could be more valuable to someone than a house. But when you\u2019ve seen poverty like I did growing up, you won\u2019t live your life to please anyone but to save for a rainy day.<\/p>\n
