Maybe there are people who struggle and question themselves and doubt the road ahead. No, it must be the past diverged, they took happiness and I took those things we don't say out loud and then there's everyday life when things don't go as planned.

That's the sea we have to cross, the terrain we have to navigate. It’s not the physicality of taking the steps. Anyone can do that - it's believing that you are worthy of the journey, and you have to ask yourself - is it that you can’t become something new, or is it that you can’t, won’t refuse to detach from who you used to be.

As long as your wheels don't stop turning you are never stuck. As long as you're willing to adjust there will never be an end in sight. Until you put a stake in the ground and declare victory.

People struggle because they carry specific instances of failure with them. Right, it's a human response. Emotions play into our decision making.

This is a critical junction. If you let yourself quit, all your time and effort up until now has been for naught. If you can get back on track, things can be great again.

Many of us just want to get out of the turbulence and pain, want to be free of it, want to find a place of peace. That’s natural, but that’s a rejection of your experience right now, and it’s a huge missed opportunity.

In the 1993 film, A Bronx Tale, a movie about a father that becomes worried when a local gangster befriends his son in the Bronx in the 1960s. Robert De Niro is talking to his young son as they’re stepping off the bus and the son asks, “Do I have talent dad? Of course you have talent son. You can be anything you wanna be.
