Broken by an Inside Force: Turning Passion into Business
by Gil Kelly Cabales Garcia

"If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends.

If broken by an inside force, life begins.

Great things always begin from within.

Life may hurt us, but it is meant to be felt.

We cannot spread our wings and fly

Until we break our shell from the inside.”
