10 years ago I wasn’t in the greatest place. I got kicked in the teeth by this thing called “LIFE”. I lost basically everything…I was broke, bankrupt, divorced and dealing with foreclosures on property I had. . But that challenge didn’t stop me and I refused to let it beat me. . I could have gotten a J.O.B ( was told I should) but I knew that wasn’t me and I did not want to go down a path I was convinced would get me even more stuck. . I didn’t need a safe space, a comfortable life, or a JOB. I didn’t need to coil back and live the life most people to choose to live. . That’s not me. . So I hunkered down, I dusted myself off and I pushed on. . I learned, I studied, and I read. . Was it easy to pull myself out of that hole? . Hell no! It was tough and it took much longer than I expected but doesn’t it always. . I stayed the course, I didn’t give up and didn’t give in… . And you know what? I made it out and became much stronger, smarter, confident, and more successful because of it. . No doubt they’ll be more challenges and adversity I’ll have to face down the road and I’ll attack each one exactly the same. . The question is…WILL YOU? . . . #liveyouramericandream #faceyourchallenges #dontevergiveup #learnfromlife #thursdaymotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/BrV9TNhA3VG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dmnbsz07s6oo
