Now I can do what I want.”-Giovanna Silvestre “We all have a little warrior princess inside us.”-Giovanna Silvestre “I meditated so I had more mind control, because before my mind controlled me.”-Giovanna Silvestre “One day I woke up and nothing had changed in my life but I had this joy energy running through my body, and I felt what it was like to feel gratitude for the first time in my life.”-Giovanna Silvestre “Joy really doesn’t come from the outside.

It has to push up through the ground.”-Giovanna Silvestre “Just because you start something and it’s a great idea, don’t think that you’re not going to get resistance because the resistance is the whole part of the process.”-Giovanna Silvestre “Social media is not an overnight thing.
