During an early morning discussion with my husband about my professional future, we spoke about my passions and how they relate to my career. He asked me to think hard about it and see where it would lead me. While this one is not bankable, I do it with sincerity, compassion and hopefully, some wisdom. Advice, or maybe I should just call it my opinions, either way I love to give it. Most of the time it’s said in my head, sometimes out loud and most likely unsolicited and unwanted by the recipient.
It’s nothing that you haven’t already heard a couple of hundred times. My question is since you have, why the heck aren’t you living it? It’s nothing but common sense. So… here it is again, Steff’s opinions on life and living.

- Never be fake, be proud of who you are, just as you are.
- Trust actions, then words.
- Learn to ask questions.

Sometimes criticism came along as wrong. You have to keep in mind that everyone are individuals with their own opinions. If someone criticize something you think of as great, it doesn’t mean that any of you are wrong, but you are the maker so you have to decide what’s right. Always remember that your writing is your work and your responsibility, if you don’t agree with the critic at any level, well don’t change it then. When it comes to your manuscript no one is in charge but you. On the other side it’s important to not take off when someone gives you positive feedback, stay with both you feet on the earth. Nothing is completely without faults or wrongs. Just because a person likes it doesn’t mean it’s perfect and done. When writing you are never really done, because there are always room for improvement, the only thing you can to is stick with you manuscript and work on it until it’s as perfect as possible.

Nice. I don’t always live this way, but if I can even be true to one of these ideas a day, I live a better life.
