If I could give my past self a word of advice, it would be this
“When you have adversity in your life you should be excited because change is going to happen. Is it something that’s going to happen to you, or an opportunity you’re going to seize?”
“We will have peaks and valleys, but guess what? The ones who live on the mountain tops end up freezing to death. Most people think they should be on the mountain tops but the green grass is in the valley. That’s where we learn and grow.”
