The world is unforgiving.
Period.

All that “get knocked down 7 times, get up 8” may be all very good on an Insta’ post, but what about real life?
When the pain just seems unbearable, where friends seem like enemies, and… well, enemies seem like kings…
There are two sorts of pain:
There is the pain of giving up, hiding from your dreams, ashamed of looking in the mirror, no longer recognizing the reflection. That means you have chosen to stop learning… and learning is what’s it all about; it’s all life is about.
Learning.
Then there is the other stress; the stress of trying and failing, the agony of error, of being told you are a fool because only a fool tries to step above their station. Yet, there it is, staring at you, haunting you, catching you unaware: what you could become, what you could manifest.
