Why wait for life’s harsh lessons to beat the brilliance out of you?

Most of the time you just let life take you where it wants to go.
You make excuses. Blame other people. Whine. Whimper. Wish things were different. All the while forgetting that you can be powerful when it really matters.

When the worst tragedies strike, you’re going to rise to the challenge. You’re going to be amazing.

That’s already inside you. Waiting to come out.

Why wait for your most trying moment to take advantage of that power? Why wait for life’s harsh lessons to beat the brilliance out of you?
