What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Not everyone is going to like, appreciate or be kind to you, but there will always be a gap for the light to enter. There will always be a positive and means for change … because we are human. “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” -Maya Angelou
