I’m genuinely grateful for the person who told me I’d ‘never make it’ when I decided to start my own business. via /r/gratitude

At the time, their words stung, and I felt a wave of doubt. But instead of letting it crush me, that negativity sparked a fire in me. It became my fuel. I'm not just grateful for the motivation; I'm grateful for the lesson in proving to myself that I'm capable of more than anyone, including myself, thought.
