“Eleven years ago, suicide felt like my only escape. I had 2 extra years, was drowning in debt and gambling addiction, my girlfriend and friends had left, and family had distanced themselves.
Then I listened to a Myles Munroe tape that transformed my life. He said, “Never apply a permanent solution to a temporary problem”.
He also said, “Life is a fight for territory. Whatever you want, your finances, relationships, career, or health, you must fight for it. Keep fighting until you get it right”.
No matter what you’re facing, it’s temporary. Don’t take your life, no matter how bad it seems. Keep fighting consciously, work on yourself, and prepare for opportunities that will break the chains of mediocrity. Above all, I wish you prosperity and a flourishing soul!.”
