You were too hung up on blaming your mom for how she treated you when you were younger.

You were too hung up on blaming your teachers for how they spoke to you.

You're too hung up with anything that happened to you years ago.

I'm not trying to discredit your pain, but you've got to let the go.

And because of that, you aren't able to appreciate the strength and power you have today.

You aren't able to step into that power

because you are choosing to justify excuses

every single time you open your fucking eyes.

It's time to take responsibility.

Understand that you are in control of how you feel every day.

What you do every day. What you do every day.

How you act every day.

So don't get it twisted.

The excuse that these outside sources control how you feel, what you do, and how you act,

is just a justification that has been drilled into your head since you were younger.

Break out it. Understand that we have the power to change our lives. Stop putting the power

in other people's hands by blaming them for your current situation. Take that back. Choose to shift the trajectory

of your life so you can live up to your true potential.

That feeling where every fiber of your being wants to give up is the test.

The test to see if you actually want this shit.

The test to see if you got what it takes to make the dream a reality.

The test that so many others have failed.
