Choice isn’t enough to change your life but choice is the first step towards changing your life.”   PUMP-UP JAM: Make the World Respect Your Greatness by Trent Shelton Middle Child by J. Cole   Quotes: “If I’m in a negative mindset where I’m like, I can’t do this, I will go prove myself wrong. Or if I’m in a great mindset where I’m like, I can do this, I’m trying to prove myself right.” “I want to be the best version of myself, not just for me, but for the people that need me to be.” “When you look at yourself and say, I am purpose, you literally can take your life into anything, any job, any position, anything, and allow your life to be used to better that situation.” “You’ll never fix what you’re not willing to face.” “It’s selfish for you not to give your story to the world.” Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?
