Summary
Today's episode is all about motivating yourself no matter the situation in your current life. You either define yourself or let someone else define who you are. If you know who you are, and you know what you can do, dark times start to feel like the building blocks to astronomical success and growth.
Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
