Jerris,

You need to understand one thing, Change is Inevitable in Life, when you change, not if you change, but when you change it will be on your own terms or it will be on the terms of other peoples thoughts of who you should be.

You control the change in your life.

Listen to what the late Steve Jobs co-founder of Apple had to say about it, “Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other opinions drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Everyone has opinions but you are the only one who knows what you truly want in life, so go for it.

You have stated several time in this discussion that you are African American and that will possibly hinder getting a position over seas. Listen to your inner voice it knows you better than anyone else and it will tell you how unique you really are.

You are the only one on the face of this planet with the fingerprints, brainwave pattern, and DNA you possess. No One, I mean No One has those same three human features exactly like you.

Those three characteristics validate that you are a uniquely special individual and have a purpose to fulfill in this world.

So take heart and with courage go out and discover your full potential in life!!!

You can do this!

And that’s how I see it young lady…
