Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesIf you're like me, at times you ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?" "What is all this for?" or "How did I get here?" I guess we all go there sometimes, but the key is pulling yourself up and out. I got that inspiration after watching actor Denzel Washington's acceptance speech again during the NAACP Image Awards this year.
His message was simple, but heartfelt and spoken with true conviction. Thought I'd share.
