Advice for Growth:

Every person comes to life with a different set of circumstances. I think it is critical for individuals to take responsibility for the direction that their life goes. Do not cast blame, and do not go through life as a rudderless ship, being moved at the mercy of the waves. Rather, have a vision for the direction you want your life to go in and then be engaged and proactive in your journey of growth. Find ways to do the work that drives you, be intentional about who you surround yourself with, be willing to share your goals with others, ask for additional opportunities for work and use every opportunity as a chance to learn and grow.
