Overcome roadblocks and take action

No story would be complete without conflict to overcome. Before you get where you want to go, you'll face setbacks, and you'll have to be willing to sacrifice and persevere to move forward. It won't be glamorous, but the payoff will come because you'll have been true to yourself. You can also be a source of inspiration to others by sharing what you learned from your conversation. Sharing connects you to a community of people in the same boat.
