Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    I have not heard any discouraging remarks.

  • How I responded:

    For me, I choose to do something that makes me happy and fulfillment. I haven't let anyone discourage me. People who are negative are removed from my life. I don't have the time or energy to deal with them. I am pleased with my choices. In the end, I only can make decisions about my life.
