But, as with anything in life, we don’t have to take everything at face value or adopt it as our own belief system. We can simply treat ideas as educational experiences and take what we want from it, and leave what we don't resonate with.

I really like this quote from The Prince: “Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.” It’s inspiring because it can be interpreted as: never give up, keep trying, and you will overcome challenges and achieve your goals.
For me, there’s another layer of meaning that makes this quote even more powerful. I see free will implied in it. We all have the ability to CHOOSE greatness and persistence. No matter what hardships may appear along the way, it is our free will that allows us to continue the journey — and eventually, the difficulties surrender.

How beautiful is that!
On that note, here is another great quote from the book, "Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are." Keep that in your back pocket, it's a good one to keep ;)
