Restructure
The gateway to success is to be creative. Many think successes are linked to having materialistic items. You must embrace when life gives you lemons make lemonade not wish you were given limoncello. I understood this at a young age and was able to imagine my life without certain things in order to be motivated to keep them there.
Felt Experience
Free thinking has never been easy for me. Thinking in a very closed-minded approach hasn’t done be any good. Feeling defeated lately, I try to be more positive and look for the good in situations. Leadership does not mean you have to be the most popular person in the room.

Dichotomy
Andrew and I are completing different which makes this dichotomy ironic. We bounced ideas off each other and came out with two different versions of the same assignment.
Unify words to connect
Gateway:a means of achieving a state or condition.
Materialistic: anything that exists.
The gateway to living your best life and realizing materialistic items means nothing.
Felt Experience
It took years for me to broaden my horizons. The moment I did was the moment I felt free. Feeling as though what I had been doing for years wasn’t working. If it was not working, why keep trying? Move on! Try something new. Missing my old life was expected but I wouldn’t have been able to grow if I didn’t feel vulnerable.
