But did you know Damson could basically write a daily affirmation book with all the gems he drops on Twitter? No? Well get into it:
6.
You’ll never understand the power of seeing someone like you in the spotlight. What ever spotlight that is. It reminds you that it is absolutely possible for you to accomplish that as well.

7.
Learning everyday that the people want to see new things. You can’t keep recycling the old. We must embrace the new. And that is the new in all forms. New stories, new talent, new opportunities.

8.
You can’t just expect young people to be postive thinking. To be motivated. To love eachother. You have to give them an opportunity. Wisdom & purpose comes from having something to lose.

18.
Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery & reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful happy life.
