Its up to YOU!

I am slightly obsessed with hidden figures, but this interview of Taraji makes me love it even more. She says "you can't give another human the responsibility of your happiness." I LOVE that! Its so true. It is up to us. If we are in a situation we don't want to be in, or if we have somewhere we want to go, its up to us to make it happen. Each one of us is just oozing with potential, and all it takes to get there is us deciding, and putting in the hard work to get there.
I also love where she says "If you listen to people you won't live." We can't let people come into our lives and tell us what we can't do. What if she had listened to those people? What if she would've given up on her dream of moving to California and acting? Hidden Figures just would be the same. Haha. But more importantly she wouldn't have lived up to her potential. She wouldn't be where she is now. Living her dream. Don't listen to those who say you can't an don't give anyone else the responsibility of your happiness.  It is up to you, and you CAN do it!
