My Gems...

Confidence
Because I know who I am, what I am, I know that I can do it and I know it's only a matter of time. I see competition around me. Soon it is behind me, merely a memory as I proceed toward what is next to be. I simply have faith that it will be all right, regardless and in spite of anything. My confidence empowers my...

Commitment
I have been shaken, I've been made to tremble; I've been knocked back, and knocked down. So has everyone. It doesn't really matter. You proceed because you need to...or you must. But be dedicated. Have the will and the heart and with total conviction bring to life your...

Because of this some things that seem so fun you will turn away. But it's good to know that you do it so that you can have fun another day...in a better way. One that doesn't compromise or harm you down the line. One that doesn't put you at risk or put you through needless conflict down the line.

Friends
Because you have to have someone to brag to
