Life is not about knowing how many times you have failed. If you read the stories of the great achievers, you will realize that they were not people who had it easy. Many of them had the odds stacked against them. Many of them were rejected by people who didn't believe in their dreams and ideas. However, they never let those moments get to them. Instead, they defied the odds and faced their fears. They defied the words of condemning critics and were finally able to prove them wrong.

You too can do the same. You can choose to become stronger and build resilience from the unfortunate situations you have found yourself in. Your story is not over unless you choose to give up. Remember that today's champions were once victims of adversity. However, they choose to learn from those periods in order to have a better life. This is your opportunity to do the same. Take charge of your life and challenge the voices in your head that tell you that you are not cut out for the top.
