12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson - https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-life/

19th century German philosopher, Freidrich Neitzsche, quote: "He whose life has a why can bear almost any how."

Maya Angelou quote: "...And so you can try to stretch, stretch, stretch yourself so you can internalize, 'Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto (I am human, I think nothing human alien to me).'"

Dr. Seuss quote: "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"

*At the end of the movie, It's a Wonderful Life, it's shown that in the 'Tom Sawyer' book, Clarence left the protagonist [George] the last advice or message written, 'No man is a failure who has friends'. -courtesy of https://kidadl.com/articles/top-its-a-wonderful-life-quotes-from-the-heart-warming-classic-christmas-movie

*All the poetry was just created from my mind for you, dear listener.

Suggested Three Year Plan:
1. Take stock of yourself
2. Decide what to improve
3. Create a plan to change
4. Do it every day (and reward yourself!)
5. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS
6. Monitor your progress

"Live, and be prosperous." -Romeo from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
