Three Tips:
1. Evaluate our support system.
-Look at it whether it’s realistic or unrealistic from what to expect from them.
-Get a spiral notebook and write down a page for each support person and look at it from the perspective of realistic versus unrealistic.
2. Does this make me happy? Do what makes you happy. Have passion for what you do.
3. Look at the dark stuff as helping lead you to your true path. This includes being rejected. “Rejection is redirection.”
