At one point or another, we have all gotten to a point in our lives where we have said "Enough is Enough" and focused on what needed to be done and never looked back.
I believe that the beginning of a self realization (knowing who you are,what you represent,what you have to offer,what you are worth) is the start of a journey With unlimited possibilities Because you are nolonger held back by doubt. You know that you deserve Nothing but the best and won't settle for anything less.
You stop getting upset with people or situations because you now know that both are situational and powerless ,without your reaction.
Acknowledging that ,Will help you begin to thrive, and truly live because then you know that although there is very little you can control in this life you will allow yourself to be grateful for all you have been through because in life everything is a lesson that strengthens your character.
When it all boils down you realize that, "Your past doesn't define you, its what you do in that situation. At that given moment in time that brings you to where you are now. And who you are now is all that matters".
