 that unleashes creativity,

 because if you're

 passionate about something,

 then you're more willing

 to take risks.

Compliment Your Mirror Day ... Maya Angelou

My mission in life 

is not merely to survive, 

but to thrive;

some compassion, 

some humor, 

and some style.

I honestly think 

it is better 

to be a failure 

at something you love 

than being a success

 at something you hate.
