I wasn't a particularly good kid either, although I didn't get the death sentences…more like hell in a handbasket. What motivated me was getting married and realizing that I just couldn't go on slacking and ducking the challenges. And truly, ducking the challenge was harder work in the end than meeting the challenge.

But if you live according to the bitches, you'll never be good enough. The toughest part is that they care way less than we do. Most people thought I was stupid, and I surely went in having something to prove. But in the end, through trouble, I was left secure in who I am and who I was created as. And no one can shake that.

Step one and taking action usually create that first resource no matter what you're trying to do. For me it was grabbing a book and reading on my own, instead of sitting on my butt watching movies. Now I have a sweet job, cash to spend, a much better body and a much more fulfilling life. From there it is becoming as easy a ball rolling down a hill. Still grinding but easier. All because of just finding the motivation to take step one.

The girl of my dreams left me cuz she told me I wasn't good enough..

Years later. This all fueled my motivation..and my mom.

Well guess what.. from nothing to something bitches.

Thanks Joe,
