Introverts need to trust their gut and share their ideas as powerfully as they can. This does not mean aping extroverts; ideas can be shared quietly, they can be communicated in writing, they can be packaged into highly produced lectures, they can be advanced by allies. The trick for introverts is to honor their own styles instead of allowing themselves to be swept up by prevailing norms.
Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured...Spend your free the way you like, not the way you think you're supposed to.”
Stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don't let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don't force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way
If you're an introvert, you also know that the bias against quiet can cause deep psychic pain. As a child you might have overheard your parents apologize for your shyness. Or at school you might have been prodded to come "out of your shell" -that noxious expression which fails to appreciate that some animals naturally carry shelter everywhere they go, and some humans are just the same.
It's all wrong the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent, it's nonexistent
But we just keep believing
-Paramore, Turn It Off
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
-John Mayer, "Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967"
To live in the moment, to live my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind

Fear..
is not evil.
It tells you what your weakness is
and once you know your weakness
...you can become stronger.
-Gildarts; Fairy Tail
Life is not about happiness
Life is about creating happiness
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.
~Dr. Seuss
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles," 1992(commonly misattributed to Nelson Mandela, 1994 inauguration speech)
If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.If you don't ask the answer will always be no.If you don't step forward, you are always in the same place.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone
DREAM BIG
They come without asking,and leave just the same
but once you meet them, even if nobody ever knows it
that encounter will change your life for the better
...these brief encounters and farewells;
each of these moments should be kept dear to me...
