      Stay strong bro, you are learning and growing with every moment. Don't give up. And keep growing and elevating. Learn from the pain and grow, the path is here for you to walk, the hurdles you face exist because only you are capable of jumping them to reach your success. Everything starts from within, if you don't love yourself and put yourself first who else will? If you don't respect yourself who else will? It all starts with you. Once you change how you see things what you see changes. You must see yourself in the highest form and regard. Positive affirmations with intention to implement them, change your routine, workout. Go in nature. Stop consuming negative media/music etc. Take breaks from social media. Only watch content that is gonna elevate you. Self improvement is essential. Repeat your affirmations when you rise and before you sleep in the mirror using "I AM", speak it in the present tense and it manifests in your present reality right now. You are the best, you are amazing, you are successful, you are abundant, you are happy, you are loved and you are supreme. Use the gifts you have to rebuild your life and show love to yourself and then you will be able to give and recieve love to others. Peace King!
