20yrs ago, juggling 1 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘣 + 4 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘥𝘥 𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴 + 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 + 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢-𝘤𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 + 𝘢 4.0 𝘎𝘗𝘈 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, seemed so impossible.
I could afford 1 basic meal a day & 3hrs of sleep (some days less, some, more).
So I’d be lying if I said college was fun.
Superficially, it felt like a tough life but what I learnt to realise many years later, was:
𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦/𝘐𝘛 𝘸𝘢𝘷𝘦, 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 (𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘭), 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴.
Most importantly, it prepared me for the next character-building season 10 yrs later, which in turn, prepared me for the recent years.

But you know what? The key was that I had absolutely nothing to lose at that point.

It could be yours too.
This could be the beginning of the juiciest story you’ll ever share to encourage others.
To lose is to gain even more.
Only if we approach it with the right mindset.

No time to fret, regret, point fingers.

We can, and together we will. Pass this on.❤️
