You have a right to change your mind (even if you're the only one who really knows why you quit).

We lost Della Reese on November 19, 2017, an actor who defied stereotypes and set new examples of what's possible for black female singers and actors. "Don't You Know?" is an example of success in changing perceptions about what's possible. This is something you do because you feel you must and nothing can get in your way.

Who said it can't be done, just because it hasn't been done? Where there is a will, there is a way. Sometimes, you think you want to achieve something but after struggling against the odds or against negative attitudes, you realize you're glad somebody stopped you from doing something you didn't really want to do. However, in actuality, you allowed your plan to be destroyed before the hard work ever began.

You can fool others, but you can't fool yourself. You know it's impossible to stop someone who lets nothing get in the way of success. So be true to yourself; you have a right to change your mind (even if you're the only one who really knows why you quit). Now, what do you think Della Reese faced and overcame?
