Life is going to kick your ass.
Repeatedly.
It happens to all of us.
...and these ass-kickings are going to leave scars.
Be thankful for them.
Whether they are physical, mental, emotional, or financial...
They serve a purpose.
They teach us...
They harden us...
They prepare us...
They guide us...
...and they ultimately define who we are.
If you want to build a great life for yourself...
Start taking the lessons from life's ass-kickings and put them to good use.
That's the only choice you have.
