Despite the hardships, his vision of becoming an author kept him going. He wrote a play and several novels, but none of them brought him success. However, he persevered, fueled by curiosity and a dream. Joe confesses his struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts, but his desire to see what tomorrow brings kept him alive.Our conversation highlights two significant driving factors that helped Joe through tough times - curiosity and vision. Joe explains that curiosity about when things will change kept him going, even during the darkest moments. Secondly, his vision of being an author propelled him forward. The desire to create something that would bring joy and happiness to people motivated him to follow his passion.He also discusses concepts like the law of attraction, abundance mindset, and manifesting. However, he clarifies that these are merely stepping stones. His work now revolves around the idea of awakening - an evolution of consciousness through stages from victimhood to empowerment, divine surrender, and ultimately, enlightenment. ➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/2LmAIGWjgW4Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544?i=1000474506084➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
