“Let love guide you, not fear. To change the world, we have to be fearless; we have to speak from our hearts, instead of our minds. We must not be afraid of going against the grain. We must not be afraid of being called crazy, weird, strange…because, those are all the geniuses anyway.” ~ Ralph Smart
