Pain does not have to stop you.
Feeling like you were sucker punched doesn’t mean the end of your dreams.
Yes, you will need time to process the pain.
Yes, you will need time to grieve.
BUT
It doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you.
It doesn’t mean the pain gets to stop you.
All it means is that something happened that was unexpected, and it hurt you.
Don’t make it mean more.
Don’t let it mean more.
Go for your dreams, work towards success, let yourself find things that fill you with meaning, personal satisfaction, happiness, and love.
And never, ever let it stop you…unless You want to stop.
