I need to take charge of my life so I don't end up blaming other people for what I didn't get to do or didn't accomplish.
I need to make my own decisions -- based on input from and consideration of others of course -- but I need to own my own decisions.
I need to do what I think is right. What I want to do.

I need to focus on getting shit done. Being positive. Being joyful. Being strong. Being kind.
