When someone treats you like you're not good enough, ignore them. If you meet someone who says your idea will never work or that your efforts are being wasted, run in the opposite direction. Accept that these people will never understand your passion or your dreams and move on from them and do not look back. Never let their negativity affect you or your positive thought process. When I hear the words "no" I know that I am only speaking with the wrong person and you should remember the same the next time a door closes. You have the desire to succeed and deserve to be surrounded by others with the same drive; a commitment to your goals is something to be proud of. You are the better person for living in possibility, for living with the hope and knowledge that one day you will achieve something great. 

Dear Lindsay,

Turn all your negatives into positives. You are smart, beautiful and talented know that within and let others find that in you.  You have chosen every thought, every feeling, every response and every action.  Now you have the opportunity to choose again and make the right decisions.  Don't let the media choose for you, allow other that care for you to guide you for what is best.  If you're not completely satisfied with where you are, choose again, keep making choices, the right choices only you can make them.  Turn your choices into valuable experiences, fulfilling results, then make more positive appropriate choices.
