You're strong and powerful. Your energy is needed and you were put on the planet for a reason. Live out your destiny. Whatever that may be. There will be times where you have to go alone. You will be wrong. They will be wrong. Although our biggest lessons were created to help us understand what we did wrong, the best feeling is when you know you're right.

When you successfully search for that clarity, your satisfaction levels rise. You feel so tired of being told you're wrong. The commitment you have to something overpowers the resistance you feel around you. You just know when that decision is right. No one else can tell you an opposing viewpoint that will impact your decision.

Recently, a professor had told me in the middle of the semester that I would have trouble passing the course. He urged me to drop the course and give up, but I didn't take that for an answer. His assessment was incorrect. Respectfully, he didn't know me that well. But it goes to prove to you that not every book can be judged by its cover. My utmost satisfaction is held close to me knowing he was wrong. We all something to hide. That something shouldn't have to be announced to be relevant either. Be nice to one another.

Breakups can also be another difficult obstacle to navigate. Your ex shattered the pieces, and now you have to find someone to pick up the pieces. With intention or without, your breakup made you believe you'd never feel stable again. Most times, you will prevail over the hurt and sadness. A treasure trove of happiness is waiting for you if you just stay resilient. Defy the odds.

Underestimation is something I am far familiar with. Not only in school, but among family members, friends, and coworkers. They form this perception of you to which is built on the framework of what they know about you. Complicating that is the fact that you haven't told them everything. Some will listen, some will not. We all know the rest.

In case you needed this: stay true to yourself and know your worth. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not every decision should be made by others.

Take more risks. Follow your gut. Know that you will triumph.
