“How can you say I am a success story?”
It’s a matter of perspective.
You may say, “I have failed and fallen short more times than I can count. I have had to deal with so many obstacles… my life hasn’t been easy.”
This is what I would say to that:
Despite the fact that “I have failed and fallen short more times than I can count.
Despite the fact that “I have had to deal with so many obstacles…”
And Despite the fact that “my life hasn’t been easy”, I am still here.
That makes me a success story.
