How I did it: Nobody can show you how to do this and you can't read a book on how to do it either...really, genuinely accepting who you are is a really amazing feeling. I woke up one morning and realized that I just managed to get through my days, get through work, and get to bed so I can do it all over again. For me, making a lot of money wasn't what drove me everyday. I really had to be in an environment where I could be myself and do what I love.

It really is about not letting another person tell you how to feel, what you "should" be doing, or what you're doing wrong. I had to realize that in order for me to love myself I had to do what I knew was the right thing for ME.

You have to be your own best friend and love yourself more than anybody else ever possibly could. :)

Lessons & tips: For me, I quit my job and I'm going back to school for what I'm passionate about.

I had to grow some balls and stand up for myself.
