"There will be people in your life that will not agree with everything you say. We can't please everyone all of the time. What can be important is to discover and appreciate your own voice. When you express your ideas, others will start to appreciate your views. When you follow you passions, you will find others with similar dreams that can help support you. When you appreciate and love your own unique voice, others will learn to love and appreciate it too."

— Martha Peaslee Levine, from her blog Your Write to Health
