Time Quote by Tanesia Harris

“I believe that a lot of times we don’t get what we want because we don’t know what we want, and we don’t know what we want because we are so busy allowing our time to be consumed by others, we allow other people’s needs and interests to take precedence over our own.” quote by Tanesia Harris
