About This Quote
If you are trying to reach your goals, you have to believe in yourself. You have to be able to think for yourself, not have everyone around you telling you what to do. Though I am sure you have heard this before, it is so important that you remind yourself of this over and over again. If one person says no, keep going because that means there are other people saying yes. You, being the only one who said no, are the thing that makes it possible for someone else to say yes.
