Too often in my life I had listened to people with negative outlooks and let them discourage me : I had stopped taking action toward my vision and settled for what I thought I could have. At that moment something powerful happened. I made a decision to go for what I most cared about in my life , rather than listen to negative , discouraging opnions.
