When listening to others, you can't help but to drowned their narcissistic opinions out. However, when good advice brushes up to the ear, we welcome it with open arms and open minds.

When I was in the 5th grade, my guidance counselor asked me in front of the class what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said an actress. He then convinced me that I needed a more obtainable career. Oh right, how about I just be a elementary school guidance counselor who makes $30,000 or less a year. Or how about I ignore you and become an actress and make $30,000 or less a year doing what I love. Being an actress doesn't necessarily mean I'm out to be famous you Debbie downer kid dream killer!

I took this advice from him, " to choose a more obtainable career," and shoved it out the window fast. Best advice I was given because it got me even more driven to prove him wrong.

Yesterday was a great day. Amazing weather, good company and a smooth day at work. So I decided to thank the wonderful powers of the universe. Everything was aligned and working out for the best. Considering the day before was defected with numerous faults, I grasped Thursday into my arms and hugged it tightly.
