I think I received one of the best advice from an article I read on Behance. Michelle Haimoff, president and founder of ThePanelist.com gave some thoughtful advice. Her major advice in nutshell is “you gotta do what you gotta do to get whatever done”…which is right on.

I mean alot of us today grumble about what we have to do….well we don’t have to do anything, if you think about it. We can get fired, lose our home, lose the things we love. But if these things are important to us, we gotta do whatever it takes to keep them, right. Simple enough.

I took an Educational Psychology class which really put alot of things into perspective during that phase of my life. I was 25 at that time. And my life was a huge mess. I think the mess I made would have taken an average human being their entire life to experience, but I instead took 25 years. I had to do some major major damage control. But as you can see, I survived.

I know it’s hard to be introspective if your world around is crashing in….it’s easier said than done. But why must we live in hindsight…Why can’t we be better able to stop and re-assess the situations we’re in. And perhaps make better choices. I don’t regret anything in life, I learned from my choices. They made me who I am today.

But if wasn’t for the advice given to me during the Educational Psychology class which happens to echo what Michelle Haimoff said, I think I’d still be a mess.
