Three Reasons to Pick Yourself
“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. Guess what they planned for you? Not much.”-Jim Rohn
#1: Nobody cares about you like you.
#2: You’ll be more successful.
“The dirty little secret is that people who are intrinsically motivated almost always outperform their extrinsically motivated peers.”-Dan Pink
#3: You won’t regret it.
I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true
to myself (not the life others expected of me)
