Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
Internally for one reason or another I just felt like I wasn't meant to do "big things."
How I responded:
Surrounding yourself with people who believe in you and encourage your dreams is the best way out. I am a dreamer and having people around me that said "why not go for it" gave me the confidence to go after my biggest aspirations which led to new goals and aspirations. In the end that has accelerated my career progression significantly.
