when you feel like your professor oryour teacher has lost their mind when

you feel like your energy is all goneand it's impossible to finish every

assignment on time when you feel likeyou're mentally broken and yourmotivation to achieve is hard to find

when you feel like the clouds in yourlife are so dark it would be impossible

to ever see the sunshine again when youfeel those are three of the most

powerful words that could ever be puttogether when you feel because the feel

means you're still with us because thefeel means you're still breathingbecause the feel means you still have an

opportunity to be achieve it because thefeel means that you still have the power

to stop the pain stop the bleeding stopthe hurting stop the grieving I said

when you feel because the feel meansyou're still with us because the feel

means you're still breathing because thefeel means you still have an opportunity

to be achieving comes to feel means thatyou still had a power to stop the pain

still had a power to stop the bleedingstill had a power to stop the hurting

still have the power to stop thegrieving so whenever you feel like your

professor a teacher has lost their mindbecause they're overwhelming you with a

workload that seemingly will take up allof your time I need you to pause and

recall the reason why you made thechoice to invest your time and never

lose sight of the fact that you weredestined to shine never lose sight of

the fact that you were made for thiscrime never lose sight of the fact that

no hole is too deep for you to climb upand above all else your I will never

ever allow you to withdraw your wifewill never ever allow you to pull the

plug your wife will never ever allow youto throw in the towel see it's your why

that will push you to dig deeper and goto the extra mile see not only do you

owe yourself but you told your mama youwere finished you told your daddy you

were finished you told your brother youwere finished you told your sister you

were finished so therefore it's up toyou to never diminish the value of your

work and a wise man once gave me a wiseword and now I'm passing these wise

words on te you are in total control ofyour situation so when you feel like

you're facing a breaking point this isthe point when you go to your purpose

this is the point when you go to youracademic advisor and not the time to

despise her and not the time to despisehimsimply say

I am in this until my walk across thestage with my diploma I am in this untilI smell the sweet aroma of success here

right now I'm feeling overwhelmedbecause I am on academic overload do you

have any suggestions that will help mepower through this semester because my

only option is to figure this outand whatever it takes I can I will and I

must do

see I understand that drastic times callfor drastic measures and the measure of

a person's will is determined by whatthey are willing to do to ensure a

triumph over tragedy the measure of aperson's will is determined by what they

are willing to do to ensure success overfailure the measure of a person's will

is determined by what they are willingto do to ensure winning over losing and

see right now I'm choosing to fight formy academic future and that's why I came

to your office I promise when they seethat your passion is pushing you with a

purpose they will give you every ounceof their being to assure you aresuccessful because they know you're

worthy I just need you to never forgetthat you're worthy success is your baby

you just got a birth fit and then kickback and enjoy the fruits of your labor

but in the meantime I need you to pullup your sleeves I need you to tighten up

your boxing gloves because you're rightin the middle of a heavyweight boxing

match and life is trying to take yourtitle and your survival and this

academic arena is at stake it's momentslike these where we separate the real

from the fake but when it's like youshake off any and every punch that life

throws and fight back with a series offish's head shots and body blows to

overcome and achieve the victory butbelieve you me life will keep test

believe you me life will keep trying youbelieve you me life will keep pushing

you believe you me life will keep tryingto break you I don't think you heard me

I said believe you me life will keeptesting believe you me life will keep

trying you believe you me life will keeppushing you believe you me life will

keep trying to break you and alwaysremember you are unbreakable they wanna

see you fail but you are diamond and yousucceed because you get back up after

you fail and you will get back up againand again until your arms are raised

with the wind so I need you to speakpositivity into existence and ignore

your inner voice of resistance becauseit's your resilience and persistencethat will allow you to master your time

management skills that will allow you tobreak all of these huge assignments down

into small pieces that will allow you togroup study with a winner's circle that

will allow you to jump over any and Imean any academic hurdles always

remember when you feel that means youare still breathing and thus you have an

opportunity to keep achievingthis is a great day to win
