Well, hello, my friends, and welcome to the live-inspired podcast with John O'Leary for this week's

Monday moments. They are created to help you start your week on fire with a quick burst of inspiration.

Never let your current situation, whatever circumstances you are going through,

be a mountain that you cannot climb.

Those are words from a 17-year-old named Tupac Mosley out of Memphis, Tennessee.

Turns out Tupac's father passed away leaving little Tupac Mosley out of Memphis, Tennessee. Turns out Tupac's father passed away,

leaving little Tupac homeless during his senior year in high school. And yet the story doesn't

end there. While grieving the loss of his dad, while being in and out of shelters and off and on

friends' couches, this little man, this young man, managed to

keep a 4.3 GPA. He was even awarded the Valvictorian of his graduating class, and he has received,

listen to this one, more than $3 million in scholarships from universities that want him there.

It's incredible.

During his graduation speech, thanking the principal,

thanking the teachers, thanking his fellow students,

thanking those that allowed him to move forward in his own journey,

he shared a very important lesson that might impact you on your journey. Here it is.

Never let your current situation. Whatever circumstances you're going through right now be a

mountain that you cannot climb. My friends, whatever your current situation is, missing car payment,

maybe a difficulty in a family situation, in unwanted, undesired

medical diagnosis, painful memory, or maybe it's a difficult future looking at you. Well,

don't let this become a mountain that you choose not to climb. You are not alone. You are enough.

And your best is yet to come. So for this time, and until next time,
