For what it's worth, this post is intended to inspire you to become your best self. When I say best self, I do not intend to press on your mind any unusual primps for perfection. Yes, I am not talking about perfectionism, but I talk of best self with the intention that we will do the god little things every day that will improve our lives.
Know your worth

So, in order to defy naysayers, it will be wise to schedule you days and work toward a specific thing one day at a time. You plan should be specific and realistic and should be reviewed from time to time, improved upon or adjust it to meet growing demands.
