Desires of your heart

You are the only one that knows the desires and ambitions of your heart. Don’t let anyone talk you out of what it is that you long for.
Be your own person, never a puppet who allows someone else to pull their strings and influence what they do and think.
Listen to other peoples input but don’t allow them to make your decisions for you. Stand up for yourself, besides you are the one who has to live with those decisions for the rest of your life.
Conflict – never try and make your point or take a cheap shot in a heated discussion. Hold your tongue and give it some time and thought before you attempt to get your point across.
To defuse the situation don’t give them anymore ammunition and agree on the fact that they are indeed upset and make certain you express that you understand that.
