Today we bring you the short but sweet story of Dwayne.

“Struggling is just a part of life” for most people, Dwayne shared. It is easy to find someone around you who’s struggling, if you look for it. The beautiful part of it all, is that it can be the foundation of your next journey if you use it properly.

Dwayne didn’t have a specific life struggle he wanted to touch, but more so wanted to share that set backs, turning points and changes are all a part of life. We all go through those times in life and if you can identify what you’re going through, when you are, you can use those times to catapult you into a better future.

When Dwayne has reached these times in life where he is being held back from his potential, he has turned inward and use introspection to find what needs to go to be able to move on. He recounts times where that meant leaving a job or a relationship that was holding him back.

These choices don’t come easy, but they do come at a cost. Dwayne said “Life is fun when things go right, but when they’re not you need to change your mood/mindset and get back to work”.
