"When I need encouragement, I often reach out to my friends. They help me focus on what is important and how to get done what is necessary. We're all at different points in our lives, and their various points of view help me to see things from different perspectives. I remind myself how far I've come and how hard I've worked to get where I am. We encourage each other to not focus on negatives and to pay more attention to the positive attributes of our lives." ~ Linzey
"My friends and family really help me to be my best self. I have a lot of good role models, within my family and within my circle of friends. They help me focus on what is important. I try to focus on finding happiness with the little things in life and to appreciate everything that I have and everything I have accomplished." ~ Alyssa
"The ways I encourage myself to be the best version of me is to be proud of my accomplishments. Whether it's a large or small accomplishment, you need to believe in yourself and feel satisfied with the outcome. In the end, you should be your biggest fan. It also helps to reach out to those who encourage you and to spend time around people who make you feel good. Loved ones and friends can help make any bad moment seem less disastrous. It is also important to be healthy. Your health has a lot to do with your spirits. Most importantly, never give up on yourself! Then, you will be able to accomplish whatever you set your mind and heart to." ~ Maria
