I have no concept of failure

“I have no concept of failure. I never have. A 4-year-old Meghan would have told you the same thing I tell you today, ‘I am going to be an actress.’ Not an ounce of uncertainty to my voice. No ‘possibly’ or ‘if’ or a lukewarm ‘maybe.’ The word ‘if’ is toxic. I never let it slip through my tounge because I set my own limitations and if I tell myself ‘if’ then I’m succumbing to the possibility that I don’t have what it takes. That I am doubting my very self. But we’re taught on knees of kindergarden teachers that the sky wasn’t the limit for Jack and the Bean stock, so why should it be mine? – Meghan Rienks

Doing weird shit

I read this paragraph in Frankie Magazine and it made me giggle. Thought you’d enjoy it as well. “We’re all gonna die; might as well do whatever the fuck you want. Remembering what a tiny grain of sand I am always makes me want to take bigger and better risks, even if they are just entertaining to me in the moment. Because seriously, who cares? It’s all about turning tragedy into funny stories that can’t hurt you anymore, and doing weird shit that you can tell your friends about later, and then you get to see them full-on laughing and it makes you really happy.” – Kathleen Hanna

What it takes

“Talent gets you invited to camp; determination gets you on the team; teamwork gets you on the field; confidence gets you on the starting unit; love for the game keeps you there.” – Brett Nelson of Forbes Magazine
