#smartstart19

Some #WednesdayWisdom courtesy of our 2019 Success Planners from @thekarlynpercilcollection: “Don’t knit-pick your dreams & goals. Just go for it! Don’t get caught up on the idealism and perfection of it all. Just go for it, do it and grow in the process.” We are so grateful for the funding from @risingyouthtig that made sure each of our #SMARTSTART19 Delegates and Ambassadors went home with their very own @karlynpercil Success Planner! #differentisdope #ylacmentality #LeadersToday #RisingYouth #JeunesEnAction #sistertalk #mindset #goals #selflove #youthempowerment https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxffs1flaj-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sy1mkqz6s718
