Write your own happy ending...

I saw this in Essence Magazine and wanted to share it with you...

Rules for writing your own Happy Ending

Remember, you're the star
Most of us are playing out our lives in front of an audience. How many times have you asked yourself what your (fill in the blank) co-worker, neighbor, sister, parents, friends will think? As you make moves towards your dream make sure its your dream that you're living

Know your audience
Take into account every person who might not cheer you on, then mentally cross them off, one by one. You may still care about them, but you have to care about yourself more. This is your life, and no one can crawl inside your skin and live it for you. You determine the outcome of your life, not your mother, not your father, not your grandmother, not your sister."

Trust the butterflies in your stomach
Scared of change? Who isn't? Transform those nerves into energy and make certain you're prepared. Mentally rehearse how you'll rise to the challenge, and soon that stage fright will dissipate. And hold fast to your purpose. When you're ready to relaunch yourself, those nerves will soon become nerves of steel.
