Your pain will be your advantage. People are motivated by two things in life, pain or pleasure. Whatever is going on in your life... it'll fade. It's the natural timing that happens with everything. The environment changes, politics change, seasons change, people change. This all happens automatically.
You might be going through so much pain right now and you don't want to fucking handle it. But what you might not see yet is that you've just picked up a rock with the most precious and valuable crystal inside.
Inside that pain is a crystal of drive. Insane drive.
Your problems can be solved. If you don't feel like it in this moment... I've been in the same space you were. Whatever higher power you believe in would not give you something if it could not be solved. And if you think it can be solved but YOU can't do it... I thought the same thing and I was wrong. There is no magic that goes into certain individuals. What one person can do, anyone else can do.
As you continue your journey of healing, once you begin to see that you can solve your problems... your drive can be activated. If you know what you want in life... you have a key ingredient that will help you succeed better than anything else in this world. The DRIVE to do so.
You have a time period and I'll be honest with you your time period of insane drive can be limited, because pain goes away. If you want to stay hungry you'll need a vision and a pull motivation but we can get into that later.
That time period is precious. In that time period you may be hungry enough to do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. You may be willing to go the extra mile, to keep learning and pushing despite huge obstacles. You have a willingness, drive, and hunger inside of you many may not have and that will be your advantage. There's so much you can achieve from this space and there's so much success waiting for you.
That very drive you have can drive you to wasted time, or it can drive you to the very solution to your problems and incredible success and access to what you've always dreamed of.
When I was feeling sad all the time, I felt so much pain. That became insatiable drive to find a solution. I spent 24/7 working. I went to school, did my homework any free second I could—passing periods—thirty seconds before the bell rang—before school—on the bus, and the second I finished I dived deep into personal development. And that was all I did. Hours on hours of learning from what I considered to be the best coach in the world Tony Robbins. I listened to him when I woke up, while I was eating, getting ready, stretching. I didn't stop. The only thing is, I was the girl who was chasing a sunset running east. My drive didn't lead me far.
I share this story in hopes you are careful with this next period of your life. Once you see what's possible, that you can control so much of your life... that you can totally reshape how you are... your drive might come in to give everything you've got into change. I pray and hope with everything you find the most effective strategies and actions to execute on so you can get the absolute most out of everything.
Sending you so much love.

Life Is Always Beautiful
Have you ever had a tough time in your life? When if someone were to ask you how your life is, you’d want to smile and run away? Sometimes we face certain times in our life when one bad thing happens after another. And I felt a little weighed down lately. I was having a bunch of unfavorable circumstances pile up in my life. I believed in myself, borrowed some money. Wasn’t able to pay it back in time. Got robbed of an iPhone X I was supposed to be selling, on top of another thing, on top of another thing, and one more after that. But this wasn’t why I was going through a tough time. I had realized I was having a tough time because of what I was allowing to be the focus and highlight of my life. I was obsessing over all these “bad events.” I wasn’t showing up for myself with love. And I was rejecting a lot of life. “This shouldn’t have happened. This isn’t fair.” No matter what bad happens, life is still going. I didn’t want bad circumstances to be an excuse to not feel happy and high on life. Why wasn’t I working to create beautiful moments in my life? Why am I not magnifying and obsessing over the good that’s happened? Why am I not expanding my appreciation of life? What was going great in my life? I asked myself that again, what’s been really beautiful in my life lately? I’m really experiencing, appreciating, and being touched by the simple kindness and love humans have and it’s just so beautiful and helps so much in life and I can’t wait to let that drive me forward. I’m constantly meeting people that are so kind-hearted, so nice, so loving, so warm, and fun to be around. I’m constantly seeing and meeting the good in humanity. I got the gift of an amazing in person mentor who has really been helping me grow. Even the stupid little shit, I went to the Chicago Diner for takeout, I got led into this beautiful garden full of gorgeous flowers that really brightened up life, and I just had a really chill meal enjoying life.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
