Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You are intimidating, aggressive, demanding. Retail girl. Not polished enough. Who do you think you are?

Believe in WHO crafted you. Realize your dreams are not yours, they were before you...you were created to make them manifest. Just believe.
