I took no advice from my peers, family, or friends. I was a high performance person and I had no fear of failure. I didn't give up on my dreams. If there was one thing that the universe continually taught me over and over and ingrained into my fucking soul it was how wrong everyone else was about me. I became a warrior, not because I didn't try to be nice. But because I had tried it enough times and was intelligent enough to see the patterns of failure. God did not respond to my playing small to please other people around me. God only loved me when I loved myself 100%. I could no longer hold my greatness inside. I was the best, and I became unapologetically shameless about it.
