"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place. "

- Smile every chance you get. Not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for all the good things you do have and all the problems you know you don't have.
- The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them.
- Know your worth! When you give yourself to someone who doesn't respect you, you surrender pieces of your soul that you’ll never get back.
- If it is detrimental to you emotionally, physically and spiritually, what choice do you have but to let go and flourish with self-respect.
- Give yourself permission to immediately walk away from anything that gives you bad vibes. There is no need to explain or make sense of it. Just trust what you feel.
- You look the best when you wear your smile. There is no beauty like the one that comes from inside you.
- When you find yourself cocooned in isolation and despair and cannot find your way out of the darkness, remember that this is similar to the place where caterpillars go to grow their wings.
- Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there’s a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.

We all are on this earth for a reason. Regardless of who or what you believe created this universe and the human soul, each individual has a purpose. Throughout my life, I have struggled to find my purpose - I am only 22, so it is entirely normal to be on this pursuit. While I am still unsure of everything this life has to offer me, I think I know now, more than ever, the main reason I was placed when and where I was; I feel like my existence is purposed to create happiness.
Upon my first day with the Walt Disney Company, I knew I found my home. New Cast Members are taught the Disney mission, which is to create happiness - exactly the type of corporation I wanted to be a part of. If you have ever fallen in love with something/someone, you know the associated feeling of "home." A feeling which brings warmth, comfort, and clarity . Some find it in the mountains, others the ocean, and even some (crazy people, I assume) find it amongst wintry snow - I found this feeling in Orlando, Florida. Full of vibrant, constant LIFE, Orlando has been tattooed onto my heart since 2014.
There is too much mediocrity in this world - I beg you to never settle and to always stay hungry. If you find a city you love, move to it. If you find a career you are passionate about, do not stop pursuing it. If you find a person who feels like home, tell them you love them every day. There is so much passion inside every one of us, we simply have to access it to build a meaningful life. I think Walt Disney said it best: "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
Find your happiness, then live for it.
