“When you feel like quitting, remember why you started”
People always think that failing in something means that you’re not good at it but what if I can prove to you that it actually means the opposite? This story holds the incidents of John’s business that lead him to fail then utterly succeed with no regrets or what ifs. If you’re waiting to have that push you’ve always wanted in order to finish what you’ve started, John’s story will give you that push!
In John’s early years of opening his business, he was and still is an ambitious person with dreams and hopes. He had all the good qualities, the right spirit, and the fitted personality to become a business owner; however, money wasn’t his friend. John got in and out of deals without any luck, because no one wanted to invest in a good idea that had no structure or as some of them said ‘No future’. So, he just wanted someone to believe in him the same way he believes in himself. Along the way, he decided to publish posters in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., about his idea. After a week from the post, someone contacted John with the intention of investing and becoming partners. That person was the last piece of the puzzle; he was so interested in John’s idea and he saw what nobody has seen which is how driven and passionate John is with this project.
No matter what was thrown at John’s lap, he didn’t give up and he remained his true self with his dreams and hopes. John didn’t only succeed, he gained experience and learned from each failure. Therefore, follow your dreams and don’t let failure define your path; today you fail and tomorrow you thrive.
“Allow your anger and grief to channel into strength and motivation”
Many people allow their tragedies to become the source of their failure. But how can a tragedy become a source of strength? This story tackles the unfortunate death of a loved one and how such tragedy could turn you into a stronger person. Stick around to know all about Melissa and her journey of becoming the fierce person she is now.
When Melissa lost her mother, she lost herself too. She lost contact with all of her friends and family. They would call her to check up on her but she didn’t want to face reality; she convinced herself that her life ended with her mother. Melissa was failing life and she was surrendering to this failure. Her job was put on hold; bills weren’t getting paid, food wasn’t even in the menu so her health went down hell, and clothes weren’t getting washed so she would wear the same shirt for days straight. After many months of neglecting her life, Melissa asked herself ‘If my mother was alive, would she be happy seeing me this way?’ and it clicked! She turned her tragedy into a source of strength in which all of her anger and grief became the motivation she needed all along to continue her new journey of becoming as fierce as she can be. Melissa knows now that whatever comes in her way, she can face it and overcome it.
No matter how many times you fail, it will only make you stronger and fearless. So, don’t give up on life and let your life become your fighting ring.
