Living your real life, your true life, is not about being perfect.
Living your real life is not about trying to beat the other person.
Living your real life is about discovering your true self. It happens when you are alone.
Self-discovery does not happen when you are with other people. It happens when no one is praising you, when no one is with you.
It happens when you are alone, when you are reflecting on your failures, on your mistakes.
It happens when you are true to yourself, when you are willing to face your demons, no matter what.
It happens when you have the courage to live with yourself, when you have the courage to face yourself, when you have the courage to say, ‘No matter what is going on in my life, I will never give up.’
You can say it. To say it really well, you have got to have the courage to live your real life.
