Stand up for your beliefs and values. Although you have always undervalued yourself, you possess a rare force that enables you to connect with your destiny. The mistake you make is to believe that someone else controls your destiny instead of you. You are superior to others in many ways. I thought about those words from my father over and over until I experienced them.
Courage!
It's difficult to get, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot find it. Sometimes.
I lacked courage and energy, and it appeared as if I would collapse in the next second, feeling like a heavy stone on my chest when I couldn't breathe properly. My shoulders felt as if I were carrying a mountain on them. The panic attack had reached its apex. My wet eyes were blurring my vision, and my anxious gaze was fixed on the door handle.
