, this is not the kind of story I have ever shared with anyone

I mean this is my true life story from the darkest parts of my world

In fact, right now I don’t even know if I should continue telling you this but then I just remembered the message I got from someone which said;

“Thanks for sharing about your struggle because you just inspired me to believe I too can succeed”

You see that message above, it’s the reason why I will go ahead and share this shitty story of mine with you.

------

I can’t even remember how old I was when my Mum died

I think I may have been like 5 years old but I’m not sure, maybe I will call my Dad to find out after this

I know he may wonder why such question but then…

Anyway, growing up as a child without her biological mother and having to live with Aunties and later a step mother did something to me

It made me put blames on everything but myself

I would cry at the slightest provocation and in school then, I even told everyone how I was motherless

It was as if I expected the world to reward me for losing my mother.

I wanted everyone to pity me

This affected how I did almost everything.

I never finished anything and my excuse?

I would claim emotionally traumatized.

This kept going on and on but I’m sure you can already guess

I couldn’t keep using my mum’s death forever

So this was what I did without even knowing…

I started to blame every other thing.

I would start a business today and stop pushing it within 3 months and then if anyone dares to confront me

I would immediately break down emotionally talking about how hard it is to survive as a poor man’s child.

How I don’t have a mentor

How no one helps me

I would get the person’s pity and then I will keep living life just like that.

I never knew this lifestyle was affecting me so badly that I was never able to really accomplish anything

I was always Sad and broke financially, mentally and spiritually

Until I woke up and shattered the ceilings!

Last year, I told myself that EXCUSES will no longer exist in my dictionary, I will always find a way to get done what needs to be done

You and 1000+ others are receiving this email today because I made that decision to stop looking for pity.

My mum died yes.

She died

But that was not an excuse for the type of life I started to live

This email is already getting too long so I am just going to ask you

-------

, what's your excuse?

No matter what you have gone through or what you are going through, you can rise above it.

I understand that its not your fault, its just the way our brain was programed to cling to the bad things that keep us struggling.

But then, your deliverance would come once you realize that

It’s your life and you can make that choice to move past EVERY EXCUSE.

Nothing can stop you.

I know this is not for everyone but if this message is for you, just know that I shamelessly wrote this to you so you can see that we are all imperfect

But we have the ability to create the life we desire.

That’s it for now.

With Love,

Debbie
