You don't need to have someone pat you on the back and tell you that you can do it, that everything you are working towards will turn out right at the end of the road. You need someone that believes in you. Frankly, the rest of it doesn't even matter. All of the ability, talent, money; none of that will make a damn bit of difference without a dream, a goal, and the trust that with the proper steps almost anything is possible. Stop digging for the answer, you wont find it because it does not exist. No one can tell you what will happen, and everything in front of you is a blank page waiting to be filled. If you spend your time searching for that answer, your going to wake up thirty years from now and wonder what happened to all of those dreams. Don't let that happen. When you have a good thing in front of you, take it, and don't let it go, you only get so many chances.
