I’ve been thinking a lot about the many life lessons we hear every day. It seems like there’s a constant influx of well-intentioned advice given by others. Some of it gold, some not so much.

2. You can be anything you want, and you can do it anytime and anywhere you want.
3. You’re amazing, but the world will never revolve around you.
4. Living fearlessly doesn’t mean you live a life without fear. It means you’re 100% willing to do what you have to in order to conquer your fears.
