If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

“If you don't know what you want, you'll never find it.

Life starts now, live, love, laugh and let your light shine!”
