The Hard Stuff Teaches You the Most

Words don't help, especially when you're going through a lot. But when you're in that rut, when you're in that suffering, when you're in that point where you feel like there is no point of return, there are two ways to look at it. Rafiki said this really well: when life gives you a lesson, you can either run from it or you can learn from it. And as a kid growing up in South Africa, of course I watched The Lion King, and Simba was like my icon. Yeah, and that's so true because the perspective, the mindset you look at it from gets you through through that suffering as a learning experience instead of a, oh my God, what's life doing to me? And so I think being very careful and understanding of life's gonna give you these things, but don't take it as a personal attack on why is life doing this to me. Be grateful of, yo, life's doing this to me, I'm probably gonna learn something, I'm probably gonna hate it, I'm probably gonna come out crying or in a worse position or not how I want to be, but the experiences I'll have that shape my future will make me so much of a stronger person. Yeah. That's very important.
