I didn’t allow one ounce of bitterness into my heart. I turned it into fire. Then I turned that fire into a furnace. Brick by brick, I built myself. I built my charisma. I built my energy. I built my confidence. I became the happiest and most spiritually alive. I worked to become the best coach, writer and speaker. Every disadvantage became fuel. Everything I lacked became something I could deliberately build. I didn’t sit around complaining or demanding that the world change for me. I changed myself. Now I get to enjoy the victory—not because it was handed to me, but because I built it brick by brick. Don’t turn your pain into bitterness. Turn it into a furnace.
