I started to realize that everyone goes through those doubts, and I need to try and be the best version of me I can - not only for myself but everyone around me.

If we can just try every day to be the best versions of ourselves, we are offering to the world the best addition to society.

Making excuses and not trying because I was scared were my go-to reactions. Nothing was going to change in my life unless I did something about it.

Meeting Justin Bieber was interesting. We were backstage at The Voice, and he was there premiering his "Boyfriend" music video. I was in six-inch heels, so I was towering over him like a giant.
