I Was Lightning Before The Thunder

You don't have to be the best in the class. You just have to do your best.

Growing up was tough, and sitting in a classroom was even tougher for me as I dealt with ADHD and OCD. At the end of the day I think I could have been in the top 90% of my class grade-wise, but my mind was in so many places...

If you're a dreamer, don't stop dreaming.

I always knew school wasn't a fit for me. Learning in the classroom was (and still is) skewed too heavily on one type of learning, and it left others behind. It still surprises me to this day, though, when people think they are going to be successful just because they get A's on their report card.

But, I have met plenty of "Ivy Leaugers" who have not lived up to their potential. Just because you may seem to have all the makings of a success, it does not mean you will live up to it.

It's not where you start, but where you finish!

A lot of you know my favorite band these days is the Imagine Dragons. They are my go-to for morning workouts. The other day the song "Thunder" specifically caught my attention...

"Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind
Not a yes sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder"

That song taught me this: You don't have to be the best in the class. You just have to do your best. 

To be successful all you need is a dream, and then you have to pursue that dream. Once you find something you love to do, that's the one thing you'll be the best at.

My Name is Libby Eva from the UK, i have been dating this man who I loved very much for over four years now without any problem in our relationship. so at a point he changed so suddenly after returning from the office and started behaving so strangely. it even got to the extent that he told me it was over and i should never call him again. This was a person that loved me with everything that he had. When I told my friend Jenny what happened, she introduced me to a great spell caster called DR PATRICK, the chief priest of all spell caster. At first sight this man told me all my problems. It was his secretary that used a charm on him. Dr PATRICK told me not to worry that he will help me solve the problem. The following day, I was in the house in a sober mood when I first received a message from my boyfriend that he was very sorry and before I dropped the phone, he called me again to say he was on his way home and that he was truly sorry for everything. To my greatest surprise, one week later he engaged me and we got married. All Thanks to DR PATRICK. You can contact him through the following means

  • My name is william Scott Gurney from Colombia island. I want to quickly give my testimony on how I met Dr Marcus who gave out numbers to win the lottery with his spells, I came in contact with him after seeing someone comment testimony on how he helped her. I communicated with him and he told me he will help me and tell me what to do. After 48 hours he gave me the seven numbers and instructed me on how to play, so I went to buy my tickets the next day at the save-on- foods on beacon nvenus in Sidney. I was shocked when I got a notification I match the seven numbers and have won fifty five million dollars ($55  000,000) I quickly said to myself this is a dream come true, all thanks to Dr Marcus I’m forever grateful to him, I recommend you to him, the door is open to everybody reach him on email Drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com or Whatsapp+2348110492028.

  • WITH DR ISIKOLO, GETTING BACK WITH YOUR EX IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE
    DR ISIKOLO is none to be compared in regards to having solutions to your relationship or marital problems. My name is Claudia Dirk. I have been battling with depression for a very long time knowing it’s as a result of heartbreak when my boyfriend left me for another lady. I never knew he took the decision to be gone from me until months passed and I was unable to reach him. I had to contact DR ISIKOLO when I heard about him. He told me all that was needed to be done to restore the love and connections between me and my man which he did. The result started manifesting after 48 hours as he promised. This may sound weird but it is 100% true that he does not fail anyone. Worry no more and contact him now. email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196
