RE: February Fierce and Focused (A Steemit Invitation Initiative)
I just read about this now. I think this post speaks to me @rensoul17. 2017 has been one of my worst years. I thought I could graduate on time, I was so ready. My family, parents are. 3 days before my graduation, my instructor failed me telling me my performance was not enough. I was extremely devastated. I was depressed for a couple of months. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. I feel so stuck with my life. But then 2018 came, I feel like I'm a new person. I want to forget 2017 but it was a part of me. I want to be more focused and motivated. Thinking about the disappointments in life, it made me strong. I hope I was able to read this early so I can join. Thanks for the motivation! Very helpful. I can't thank you enough on how this post affected me.
You hold your head up @reewritesthings and keep going, be strong. Often those that have power over a portion of our life (like your teacher did last year.) has the ability to alter or hinder our destiny but in no way do they define who we are, unless they have walked every mile in our shoes they have no way of knowing who we are nor do they have the ability to measure our life's potential. There will be times in your life like all of us when by way of things that happen we can feel the universe telling us to do certain things over again or to retrace the path. Just follow through, often times you will discover a new part of the journey that you did not encounter the first time around. Take your failures and transmute them into a dose of good medicine and don't waiver from knowing who you are and being the champion and success story that you truly are and don't let anyone make you think any less of yourself because they don't have a heaven or a hell to put you in. And remember beautiful one keep going and dream and live your dreams.
Thank you so much @rensoul17. I will keep what you've said in mind. Because of my failures, I've become more determined not to prove anything to anybody but to prove to myself I can rise up again. Thank you so much for your words of motivation.
