Let me cry because it hurt, but there is a reward on the other end of my pain.
Let me cry tears because I passed the test, because I gave it everything I had.
Everything in life comes with hardship.
Make a decision.
Will you choose the pain that hurts you or the pain that changes you?
Consider this your wake-up call.
It was on me.
And that's something you have to realize.
Everything you do, you may have some support, you may not, but it's on you.
You have to make the decision whether you want to be a badass or whether you just want to be mediocre and everything's okay.
But being a badass hurts real bad.
Life isn't fair.
We have to understand that.
It shouldn't be fair.
It's a trial ground.
It's a testing ground.
It's built to make us harder.
It's built to make us as strong as we can, to test us, to drive us.
So mentality is the only thing that gets us through life.
But this is the thing, though.
