I have gone through foster care due to having an extremely physically abusive parent. I've met others who went through the same. I am definitely not done accomplishing everything I intend to be successful at, but I have achieved a certain level of success that many strive for. What do I think helped me be successful in college, work & eventually go for my own entrepreneurial journey?
1. I seek help
I had counselors & therapists on and off throughout my life. I choose to have one in adulthood to help me overcome overwhelm & best cope with life stresses. An excellent therapist that I trust and with whom I feel like I can share my most unsavory thoughts & actions, then actually help me with ideas to overcome them and act more in accordance with who I want to be. Asking for help can frequently be seen as a weakness, but it's a sign of strength.
