You can bounce back from challenges even if you feel stuck. I met a guy, probably 11 years younger than me. But this guy inspired me. He had challenges in school that made him late in his school years compared to his age. After having a conversation with him, I can say he is now more advanced compared to his age group and he can be successful.
He caught my attention as I can overhear his conversation with his friend in the gym. They were talking about self-help books that I just read when I started working. He started reading self-development books at the age of 17. I told him that if I can go back at his age then I would do what he is doing. He is on the right path. He is reading books and consistently working out. He strengthens his body and mind.
He shared that lockdown has helped him as he had a lot of time reading books and working out. His way of thinking is advanced. He told me that he was thankful for the setback he experienced at a young age. He shared that it made him tougher. Even if there will be challenges in the future, which is unavoidable as he said, he can surpass them too. Kudos to you bro.
My key takeaway is that you just have to divert your attention and activities from bad to good habits. Everything will follow.
