You've got to tell life, I don't know who you've been dealing with, but you ain't dealt with me. You've got to tell bankruptcy. You've got to tell divorce. You've got to tell sickness. I don't know who you've been dealing with. You come up against the wall one this time. You can be and do whatever you want, and nobody can stop you. Nobody can stop you but you. You have to understand that there's a journey that takes place in your career, in your life. Every transformation always gets worse before it gets better. It's supposed to be that way. The journey you're embarking on is not an easy path. It's not for the ill-hearted or the weak-natured. It's for the strong people. And before you embark on this journey, mentally you have to prepare yourself for it. No one's going to get worse before it gets better. Throughout your journey, people are going to deny you. People are going to reject you. Your journey makes you want to cry. Your journey puts you some time in dark places where you feel like nothing is going to do right for you. Nothing's going to be right. People are going to take you places that you've never been before. You're hard, you're paying you so much to make you want to quit your journey. If you embark on this journey, you must know that it's going to go down before it comes up. But when it comes up, it's going to go so much higher than you've ever been. Sacrifice since the day for tomorrow's betterment. But if you didn't know that, you didn't prepare for that. I think something's wrong. Maybe it's time to stop. No, it's time to move me further. You have to be equipmentally to endure this process. Knowing what you're about to go into is step one. Knowing it's not a pill battle, but a winnable one and one that's achievable. It's up to you to push past the pain. Because on the other side of pain is glory. It's rejoice.
