Inspirational Quotes

In my freetime, I love to watch movies and TV shows. I am a huge Sci-Fi fan and love sports. A couple of shows/series I have watched over the past few years are Ted Lasso and Star Trek. As characters face adversity and conflict, there are often quotes that make me reflect on myself. As a musician, I found these nuggets to be particularly thought-provoking:
