Even in my failures I succeed. God has all of the bases covered. With him there are no limitations! -Dominique M. Williams Advice to Women: I urge women to love every inch of themselves refusing to put their self love, self respect and self esteem in the hands of others. Make sure your expectations and standards match. If you can see the invisible you can do the impossible. When you become fearless and adopt a new perspective the possibilities in life you'll be limitless. The potential for greatness lives within you. The moment you learn to love yourself you will not want to be like anyone else. Tragedies nor victories define you. Only you define you. Never lose your identity. Stop hating yourself for everything you are not and start loving yourself for everything you are. There is no need to compete when you have your own crown. In the face of adversity keep fighting, keep pressing, and keep believing you were made to win! In all that you do aim past the sky, shooting for higher than high!
