Life is What you Make it

"Besides my PASSION, I do not know If I got any good cards in my hand when I was born. I had a speech problem, I have dysgraphia, and probably a ton of other disabilities that is just part of humanity."
Short article, have not done an article since I started podcasting, so here we go:
Mistreated, bullied for many years growing, I mistrusted other people, and I started to see life negatively. But deep inside I had a dream of something better for my life, and I started to change once I could start to find love in life and trust in humanity, but I did not succeed at the first attempt. I probably failed more times than most people would accept before giving up.
But I did not give up, because I realized, it is part of life also, failing, same as the bad cards I was given at my birth, at least I got a working brain, a working body, and I was still alive, I had survived hell more than ones, so what did I actually have to lose if I tried one more time? My pride? Money? Reputation? That others would laugh at my failure?
We need to work with the one good card we got and you know what, every mistreatment, every failure, every sleepless night, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT.
And I would not change anything if I could go back in time, besides any bad words or action I might have done to others, but I cannot time travel, I can only say sorry, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I wish all humans the best in life, no matter where you come from, we all deserve a chance.
I have taken my chance to the fullest extent, and now I take joy and pride, in lifting others up, in teaching others what I learned from my journey in life. I could, you can, the road of life is neither easy nor just, but at least we can try:
"A TODO CORAZóN" (with all our heart).
Yours truly Eduardo
