This is gold! So much truth is written here. Excuses have became to easy to rely on and then people get upset when they don't get the end result they're wanting. Determination and surrounding ourselves with like minded people can help a lot but staying around the same people who may not fully support you, is also hurting people. The let the negative thoughts/talk get in their head and instead of using that negativity to fuel your fire to prove them wrong.. they're allowing it to smother the whole flame. It's hard being strong but sometimes that's all we got.
Enjoyed this! Thanks for the extra pep talk! Much needed! Hope you have a great day!
