I have come to realize in life, there will be people who will try to tell you how to run your life because they have "been there" before. I ask that you please bare with me through my ranting today.
I had a conversation with a family member yesterday that left me a little more than irritated. I had to tell myself at one point why are you letting someone upset you, when they aren't a professional makeup artist, they don't run their own business, and they just aren't you. Now believe me people mean well when they give you advice or tell you how you should do things, but at the end of the day you know you better than anyone else. If you guys are anything like me, sometimes you tend to listen to family a little more than you should. I know i kick myself for doing it all the time. You will reach a point when you've had enough and you decide that, maybe you wont share so much with others. If you tell less to people, you will have less problems, and even less people trying to tell you how to do it.
The best advice i can give anyone, is do what you want to do as long as your happy and it doesn't involve causing harm to others. We look to others for praise and acceptance for what we do, when we really should look for that from ourselves. We have to make our own bed to lay in at the end of the day. So do what you feel you need to do to have success in your life and careers. To receive a 4 year degree is not for everyone, running your own business is not for everyone, get my drift? So take the path that you know will bring you success and a peace of mind at the end of the day.
I have to continue to remind myself that no one runs my life but me, not my parents, my boyfriend, friends, ME! I take chances and i make alot of mistakes, but i will never live in the "what if" factor and that makes me completely satisfied. Live life folks, you don't get to do it all over again. Time is not on our side, so till next time remember "Quality over Quantity"
