“Always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals.”
Michelle Obama

I have recently had to remind myself of this. There are a lot of negative, unhappy people in prison and you can’t go home at the end of the workday to get away from that constant, negative energy. I have to remind myself how important it is to stay true to myself no matter what is going on around me. I think that’s important for everyone right now with all that has been going on with the coronavirus. People are feeling frustrated and discouraged. Go within yourself and remain focused on the big picture in your life. Don’t allow any person or circumstance to take your attention away from the goals you have set for yourself. Ya, it feels great to watch TV all day or sleep in a few extra hours, but those things must be indulged in rarely if you truly want to go after your big goals. We can never get back the time that we waste, which motivates me every time I think about it. Don’t continue to waste your time and then have nothing to show for your life down the road. Plant Your Energy by pursuing your goals and remaining true to the best version of yourself.
