what defines you is how you rise after you fall

I learnt it from my dad. He, too, molded his mindset during the rough times. Feeding 5 mouths when your gold mine of a business went down the drain was possibly the biggest challenge he ever faced. But, he did not only rise from the occasion to mold himself to a greater champion, but he left an imprint in his children that I am forever greatful for,

Today, I stand on my own feet because of what I learnt from him. A lot of us have it nice, and it takes one bad kick to the face, that makes us realize it's time to change evolve and be the best of us.

I think everyone has a different story, and a different way of dealing and growing from it.
Your struggle, your challenge is another page in my book of inspirations.

The thing I take back from your story is that...maybe I too had the chance to do so much more, to experiment so much more and gain so much more. But, I took the easy route and settled in my comfort zone as soon as I found relief from my challenges. But life is still long enough to do much more.

There was a time that money was everything I thought of. I ate, drank and dreamt of money. I literally hustled. Literally did everything I could to make money. Money was my meditation, money was my happiness. As much as money I have made so far...it was the lowest point of my life. Even lower than when I was piss broke..lower than being alone and lonely and helpless....because the hunger fro money and the comfort I found in it made me less human...soulless robot like you put it

Thank for sharing this with us. An eye opener. A look into the hidden reality of life.
