It's not difficult, but it does require discipline, persistence, and resilience." "It's just a question of having that vision of where you want to be and then taking action towards it. It sounds simple, but I know it's not easy." "I'm doing this to create my own autonomy in my life. I want to make the most out of those future days, months, years, hopefully with my new family."
