When asked what drives me I once said pain. In life I have had my share of pain, disappointment and heartbreak. But unlike others I decided to turn my pain to positive and into fuel to push me past the agony and into my future. You see in life you can either take the lemons that it throws at you and make lemonade or you can make chocolate cake with the lemons and make people wonder how you did it! I always decided to make chocolate cake. Not because I love it but I knew it was the harder thing to do. What I learned is that at the end of the day no matter how hurt you are, no matter how much pain it caused you the one thing that cannot heal you is staying in that place of pain. I learned this by staying in a place of pain for a while….a long time…..I lived there. But what happens when you live there is that you lose so much time that you can never get back! You develop a home in pain, a career in pain and you look up you have been working for pain for a year gaining interest. The key before getting to that place of living in pain is quickly shifting it. Its ok to take a moment to cry and to be down but allow it to be just that, a moment. Give yourself a deadline and make up in your mind that you will turn that pain into positivity some way some how. Don’t allow your pain to use you and use you up…but allow your pain to fuel you and take you up! Remember to ASK SEEK KNOCK you got to be a GO Getta!
