"Perhaps you feel you've no choices, or perhaps you believe everything has been decided for you. But when it feels like you have no alternatives, you must create them. If you're creative enough, options are out there. Choices you haven't dared dream might be spun from nothing but air, intellect, and courage. And where there are choices, there is power. For you, there are so many paths you haven't yet considered."
