Chapters
I remember when I actually committed robbery of somebody's car. I used to sell drugs. I got fired from multiple jobs. I remember literally getting fired because I sucked at serving. I mean, I got fired from another job because the guy didn't like my attitude. I almost didn't graduate high school. I was on academic probation in high school. I was this close to not even graduating and having to get my GED. All odds stacked against me. I remember picking up weed on the floor when I was 14 years old, finding a bag of weed, getting addicted to weed. To the age of like 27, smoked weed chronically, did drugs. I remember one time even going to the hospital because I overdosed on amphetamines. What I'm saying is all odds stacked against me. I put seven thousand dollars into crypto, made not just riches; I created long-standing wealth. I went broke two times as an entrepreneur. Two times. One of them. I lost $5.2 million and almost couldn't pay rent. What I'm saying is, I don't care what situation you're in right now, it is irrelevant. Your excuses hold no weight in the grand scheme of the universe. For every excuse you have, there's 10 more people with way worse excuses. So you have a choice to make. You can get up. Out of whatever hole you made for yourself, or you could stay in it. You could do it too. If I was able to go through all that, I don't care who you are, I don't care what situation you think you're in, it's nothing because God is greater than all your problems.
