It wasn't dramatic. No big lights or loud announcements. Just a quiet evening, with my journal in front of me and tears I didn’t plan to cry.
I had reached a point in life where I kept asking, "Why me?" Everything felt too heavy. Expectations. Disappointments. Dreams that looked blurry. But that night, while writing, something shifted. I asked myself: "What if this pain isn't here to break me? What if it's pushing me into purpose?"
That moment changed everything.
I began to see every challenge as a teacher, not a punishment. I stopped waiting for motivation and started choosing discipline. I stopped expecting people to understand me, and I started understanding myself better. That mindset of ownership, resilience, and responsibility has been my fuel ever since.
