Consistency is key.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint.
Respect your elders, but go your own way.
The person you love doesn't belong to you...
Do work that is meaningful to you and do it with love (money will follow) but don't live for your work.

"Consistency is overrated. Life is a choose-your-own-adventure book, not a marathon or sprint. Respect your elders, but blaze your own trail. Love is not possession. Do work that sets your soul on fire, money be damned. Live for yourself, not your work."
