So often I was faced with things that I didn't know were in me, good and not so good. I had to face them head on. One of the best exercises was writing 100 positive qualities you possess—much harder than it sounds. After completing the book (which certainly doesn't need to take a year to complete) people will tell you how different you are.” - Melissa S., Virtual Assistant
