Favorite Quote:  “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”  Henry Ford and “The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.” Ayn Rand

Michelle enjoys these two quotes because sometimes we tend to limit ourselves and only think of obstacles that may be in our way.  To be successful, we need to step outside of our own negative thinking and then we can truly succeed!
