It's easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing - that's the Lord's test. ››Well, for one thing, the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it. ››The little things, I can obey. The big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you. ››In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility. ››I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say. ››
