When a milestone birthday triggers a midlife crisis but a speech from @fearlessmotivationofficial gets your whole life right together. ___________________ Success can be a lonely road.  It can be a tough road. It can be a hard road. It’s certainly not for everyone… Those who follow others like sheep will never know who they truly are. Only those who follow their own path can discover the truth of their own potential. Those who fly alone have the strongest wings.  Those who walk alone have the strongest direction.  The rest will always be IN NEED of others for their survival. They will always need attention. Need recognition. To survive. I am at peace alone. Needing no attention. No recognition. And still I thrive. I am not saying those who have support are weak. I am not saying you must go it alone to gain strength. This is just for those that have fought battles alone, those who have felt like they don’t fit it, those who have never had support, in anything they do. All of those who feel no one believes in them… You don’t need them to believe in you if YOU believe in you. You don’t need their support if you’ve got your own back. The best part is, when you truly live the life you want to live…  When you speak your truth… When you embrace who you are… Then you gain real respect, and real love. People love those who have the GUTS to be themselves. Those who have the courage to follow their heart.  Why? It’s RARE.  Why? Because most people wish they could do the same. Show them the way. KEEP GOING.  BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.  It will all come good in the end, and when it does, you won’t have only inspired yourself to be more, you will have inspired so many others.  I had to learn to fight alone  and because of that I am strong alone . I am strong. Full stop. I developed inner strength  that can’t be broken.  I am unbreakable. Because of the pain,  I am strong. Because of the struggle  I have character most will never know.  I appreciate others more than ever.  I have more compassion than ever. I had to go deep into the darkness…  Now I have more depth . Now I can see clearer.  I had to face huge internal challenges … Now I can face any challenge.
