Today's Inspiration:
Whenever I’ve ever thought I’m getting to the top I’ve always told myself I’m nowhere near. Because the moment you lose that ambition, you’re no longer striving for perfection. And if you’re not striving for perfection, what’s the point?

Today's Inspiration:
If it is your intention to be unique and stand out, this is the best way I can think of because it gives you access to source material nobody else has - your own mind - your subconscious - the place where dreams come from.
