When life throws you curve balls sometimes they do actually knock you out. You then have to decide to wipe away the dust, pick yourself off the ground (sometimes literally) and try again. I know it is hard however the other option is to stay down and defeated and loose your potential. No one else has been hand crafted and formed the way you were in your mothers womb. There will only ever be one of you. No one can copy your thought processes, inspiration or what motivates you. We need to be brave so that we achieve what we were born to do. Other people will benefit from our bravery. There is someone who needs to hear your story, someone who needs to be inspired by your voice, someone who needs you to be brave. Go on, do it, be brave, I dare you!
