When you get a mentor that is incredible that tells you, “you can do this,” you develop the confidence to go for your dreams. In order to be that mentor to someone else, you have to be down in the mud yourself at some point. Adversity will show itself at the most critical moments of your life and you will be presented with a choice. You can choose to collapse and let life take you down, or you can realize that this is your moment to push through and change your life.
Don’t lose to adversity because it is just another test that life is throwing your way. When you do succeed, you can show others the way to beat that adversity and as you help more and more people, your light will continue to shine brighter and brighter. When you’ve been in the pit so many times, consider yourself an expert on how to get out. You could be that voice that saves someone’s life.
