Intro:

It's proven that it takes 21 days to build a habit, repeat this to yourself in a personal and meaningful way. Imagining yourself breaking through whatever you are currently going through. Envision yourself reaching your goal, being successful and feel those emotions. Bathe in them and know that it’ll take work, but you’ll pave the road, brick by brick. It’s only going forward now.

Speech:

When you were born you were an outcome of one in billions. The chances of your exact self to come to life, are miraculous. There in that form from the womb, you had a will to live, to make it. You didn’t give up. Then, when you were born, regardless of where you were, you kept growing. Step, by step, you became you, your unique combination of strengths and skills, your talent that runs in your blood.

However, there came times in life designed to break us down, to tear us apart. The spark turned off. We lost interest, we fell. But hey, do me a favor, take a deep breath and put your hand over your chest. You feel that, you sense the life in you? The same life that you had in the womb with that will to live, to fight! That is still you! What happened to you? What made you forget who you are? Whatever it is, it doesn’t belong in your life.

Growth is painful, our first teeth, our growing bones, our first fall or our first breakup. Our first experience of death. You overcame all that, you grew and you’re growing, constantly, day by day. You’re learning, becoming wiser, experiencing life, even if you feel stagnant. It’s not over. You are still alive, you can still breathe, your blood is still pumping through your veins! Get Up! Go be you! You got this! Show the world what you’ve got! I promise you that everything will be alright. You’ll love again, you’ll be happy again. You’ll laugh at all this one day! But no one can do it for it. Yes, it takes time, yes, it’ll be hard and it’ll hurt but it’s when you face these emotions that you become strong.

It starts with you, In you. One step at a time. Growth pains are inevitable, but it’s what makes you stronger, and makes you feel invincible. Come on! It’s time to be the best version of yourself, for you. Ignite that fire within you that gave you the strength to accomplish all you have done. It starts today! Ready? Let’s go!
