"[...] This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
- William Shakespeare (Hamlet 1:3:78-80)

lyrics
Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Ignore anyone who doubts you
Infinite opportunity is within your grasp
You alone can extinguish uncertainty
You alone can extinguish apathy
You alone can extinguish despair
You alone can extinguish regret
Please open your eyes
You’ve bared this long enough
Stand tall, realize you are irreplaceable. You’re irreplaceable!
Mountain peaks will bow to your feet
The stars will no longer be a dream
Galaxies will crash inside your soul
Reality is yours to behold
You alone can extinguish uncertainty
You alone can extinguish apathy
You alone can extinguish despair
You alone can extinguish regret
Never let anybody hold you back or bring you down. Not even yourself. Imagine if someone told the sun not to shine. Your world will change the moment you place faith in yourself. I believe everyone is greater than they know. Uncertainty, enmity, despair, regret: free them from your mind. Today, look toward the horizon. Nothing can stop you from achieving beyond what you can see.
Let your actions define you from this day forward. Baptize yourself in the oceans’ tide of opportunity and wash away what once was. Emerge as a new being born of self-worth. You alone control your destiny, now go forth and walk the earth.
