Powerful Quotes by Ben Nemtin

Be true to yourself so that you don’t have any regrets at the end of your life.

My goal is to be as honest with what I want and try to follow that because that’s how I know I am most energized and then able to do what I do best, make an impact, have the most fun and joy, and be the person I need to be.

These things that are circling around in your head are much scarier when they stay inside your brain, but when you talk about them, they lose their charge a little bit.
