Lola Puts It All In Perspective

I have been trying to keep up with all of the Travel World drama over the past few weeks and can barely keep my head above water after writing, let alone my Twitter feed. Lola lays it out really well here.

“This may sound like the passive-aggressive or easy way out, but step back and truly reflect on these simple words. If you know yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, and your true goals and purpose in life, external forces and influences within your control really won’t dampen any inherent resolve or visions.”
