In his 1964 State of the Union address, Johnson told the nation that it should ask prospective immigrants, “What can you do for our country?,” not “In what country were you born?” Johnson was right, whatever the Trump administration would like to believe.

Never doubt your importance or allow others to trivialize your value.

Sometimes you've just gotta block your ears from all the negative vibes around you and turn up the volume on all the happy stuff instead. Learn to put up the "closed" sign to all the stuff that wants to take you down and get into the habit of saying "I'll take that" to all the good that comes your way.
