You are frustrated with your last failure, you are financially broke, you might be heartbroken or you might have lost your job. Whatever the reason may be but you just can’t give up yet.
Life is much more than failures, going bankrupt and losing money or a heartbreak. You should pick your broken pieces and stand again. Stand against the challenge that is looking you into the eye and saying, are you going to give up?
You are not your emotions or your feelings. You are much more than that and you know it. These temporary feelings which are currently killing you would become the medal of honors if you just don’t give up yet.
Get inspired by these people who stood against all odds to become the best version of themselves.
