I simply over look the negativity coming from strangers and fake friends. The nay-sayers will always hate on a successful person because they hate when a person show any signs of self confidence and the ability to pursuit their dreams. The nay-sayers will never grab my attention because unlike some people, I go even harder when Im put under pressure. I turn negatively into positivity. When people say I can’t do this or that I prove them wrong. I will never fall viticim in being my worst enemy. You have to believe in yourself when no else does.

I persist because of my circle and grit! Equally, I understand my purpose in life and find joy in using my talents to gift happiness to others. Read More>>
