44 # You Can - Ola Diop

Have you ever sat down and thought about what “I have become”? I think a more constructive way of thinking is to think, "What haven't I become yet?" For all those who feel discouraged on their journey instead of in high spirits I want to say I understand you, I have been through cases when I came close to death, and I used to fill my pillow with tears of loneliness too. But this is what made me, and you make your frustrations too. Also, this is what made me refuse to always act in the manner of someone who lost something, because instead of thinking that I lost money, my girlfriend, my father, or my right leg.. I think about what I gained. You can always say you have gained experience; I gained that you learned how to act in difficult circumstances, and how to truly appreciate what you had, and what you have now in this moment.
