When you feel like your professor or your teacher has lost their mind
When you feel like your energy is all gone and it's impossible to finish every assignment on time
When you feel like you're mentally broken and your motivation to achieve is hard to find
When you feel like the clouds in your life are so dark it would be impossible to ever see the sunshine again
when you feel
Those are three of the most powerful words that could ever be put together
When you feel. Because to feel means you're still with us.
Because to feel means you're still breathing.
Because to feel means you still have an opportunity
to be achieving. Because to feel means that you still have the power to stop the pain,
Stop the bleeding. Stop the hurting, stop the grieving. I said when you feel
Because to feel means you're still with us. Because to feel means you're still breathing.
Because to feel means you still have an opportunity to be achieving.
Because to feel means that you still have the power to stop the pain. Still have the power to stop the bleeding,
still have the power to stop the hurting, still have the power to stop the grieving.
So whenever you feel like your professor or teacher has lost their mind.
Because they're overwhelming you with a workload that seemingly will take up all of your time, I
need you to pause and recall the reason why you made the choice to invest your time
And never lose sight of the fact that you are destined to shine
Never lose sight of the fact that you were made for this grind.
Never lose sight of the fact that no hole is too deep for you to climb up out of. And above all else,
your Why will never ever allow you to withdraw.
Your Why will never ever allow you to pull the plug. Your Why will never ever allow you to throw in the towel.
See, it's your why that will push you to dig deeper and go that extra mile
See not only do you owe yourself
but you told your mama you would finish You told your daddy you would finish
You told your brother you would finish You told your sister you would finish
So therefore it's up to you to never diminish the value of your work
And a wise man once gave me a wise word, and now I'm passing these wise words onto you.
You are in total control of your situation
So when you feel like you're facing a breaking point, this is the point when you go to your professor
This is the point when you go to your academic advisor and not the time to despise her and not the time to despise him
simply say
"I am in this until I walk across the stage with my diploma."
I am in this until I smell the sweet aroma of success and right now
I'm feeling overwhelmed because I am on academic overload
Do you have any suggestions that will help me power through this semester
Because my only option is to figure this out and whatever it takes I can I will and I must do
See I understand that drastic times call for drastic measures and the measure of a person's will is determined by what they are willing to
Do to ensure a triumph over tragedy
the measure of a person's will is
Determined by what they are willing to do to ensure success over failure
The measure of a person's will is determined by what they are willing to do to ensure winning over losing and see right now
I'm choosing to fight for my academic future and that's why I came to your office. I
promise
When they see that your passion is pushing you with a purpose
they will give you every ounce of their being to assure you are successful because they know you're worth it.
I just need you to never forget that you're worth it.
Success is your baby. You just gotta birth it and then kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
But in the meantime, I need you to pull up your sleeves
I need you to tighten up your boxing gloves because you're right in the middle of a heavyweight boxing match and life is trying to
Take your title and your survival in this academic arena is at stake
It's moments like these where we separate the real from the fake
But winners like you shake off any and every punch that life throws
and fight back with a series of vicious head shots and body blows to overcome and achieve the victory.
But believe you me
Life will keep testing
Believe you me life will keep trying you believe you me life will keep pushing you
Believe you me life will keep trying to break you. I don't think you heard me
I said believe you me life will keep testing
Believe you me life will keep trying you believe you me life will keep pushing
You believe you me life will keep trying to break you
And always remember you are unbreakable
They want to see you fail
But you are diamond and you succeed because you get back up after you fail and you will get back up again and again
Until your arms are raised with the wind
So I need you to speak positivity into existence and ignore your inner voice of resistance
Because it's your resilience and persistence that will allow you to master your time management skills
That will allow you to break all of these huge
Assignments down into small pieces that will allow you to group study with a winner's circle
that will allow you to jump over any and I mean any academic hurdles. Always remember when you feel
That means you are still breathing and thus, you have an opportunity to keep achieving
This is a great day to win.
