You are missing great opportunities and this is the proof

Some believe that every weakness can be turned into something good and productive, but believing that EVERYTHING we have, WHO WE ARE, and EVERYTHING OTHERS HAVE DONE TO US can be converted and recycled into something good requires a higher level of wisdom and faith. What if I say to you today that traumas, tribulations, and what many think to be curses can be converted into something extraordinary good?

Did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Donald Trump, Howie Mandel, Cameron Diaz, and David Beckham were all diagnosed with?OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder)??Did you also know that Tom Cruise, Justin Timberlake, Michael Phelps, Steven Spielberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Jamie Oliver, and Richard Branson were all diagnosed with learning disorder and Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Brad Pitt, Henry Ford, and Richard Branson dropped college and some never finished it?

If you think that they all got lucky in life, consider these other people:

CHRISTINE CAINE – Abandoned in the hospital with days of life, she grew up with foster caregivers.?She ended up being the victim of sexual abuse by several men from the age of 3 to 15 years old. Her identity was violated in every possible way, carrying shame, guilt, bitterness, and anger during her adolescence. Nowadays, besides being a world-renowned writer and speaker, Christine is also the founder of A21, one of the largest organizations to combat human trafficking in the world, rescuing hundreds of people victims of human trafficking.

REGGIE DABBS – With no money to feed her other children, his biological mother slept with a man for 20 dollars. Reggie was the result of that transaction. With no money to maintain him, she kept his brothers but after considering abortion, abandoned him with her English teacher. Having grown up with various problems and emotional conflicts as he tried to deal with his history of rejection, Reggie became one of the greatest school speakers in the world, speaking to about 1 million children and youth every year globally.

NICK VUJICIC – He was born without arms and legs, suffered bullying, depression and anxiety in his childhood, trying to take his own life as a teenager. Today, Nick is a world-renowned motivational speaker, speaking from prisons to large corporations, he sold over 1 million copies of one of his books: “Life Without Limits”.

We could stay here all day mentioning billions of other stories, and yet, this would change nothing in your life. The real question here is: What are you doing with all the difficulties, challenges, storms, and tribulations you are facing? For they can only become two things: EXCUSE or FUEL.

The people mentioned above only achieved exponential results because they learned to use absolutely everything as fuel, not as an excuse. They are the proof that you can either be someone who waits for opportunities or someone who creates his own opportunities. If you want to be someone who hides behind traumas and tribulations, fine, just be aware of your choices and the results you will produce in life.?

But know that you CAN and SHOULD be someone who transforms every characteristic of your nature, whether good or bad, every trauma, every harm that has been done to you into a source of energy that will drive you to grow, advance, and succeed. Don't accept labels and never see yourself as a victim, but be the writer of your own story!

You either put the tribulations to serve your purposes, or they will slave you to a purposeless life.
