OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

I came across this video on YouTube that reminded me of the Dr. Rob letter we got from a business owner who lives in his car after losing his marriage, money and house. This man still wakes up everyday showering at the gym and heading off to try and keep his business a float. He was writing because he feels he has reached his wits end and doesn’t know if it is time to let go of the business and move forward with reclaiming and rebuilding his life or to try and reclaim, rebuild his life with the business. Rob let him know that there is no shame is failing with your business the shame is not learning from your failed business venture and the other important shameful thing Rob pointed out was not the failure of the business but having the dream of opening your own business and not doing it.

We let him know the important thing was not to give up on himself, whether it is with his current business or if it is time to leave that business behind and find a new way to make a living, whatever it may be he must believe in himself and his abilities and that he can overcome his situation. This video really speaks to that and whatever hardship you may be facing in your life right now. I hope it helps to inspire you and move you  and remind you that you can get closer to your victories…..Wonderful!
