ZEROS TO HEROES
People are not defined by their starting line, rather they are defined by the quality and strength of their journey. You are forged in the fire of your struggles. Many have come from the wrong side of the tracks, sleeping on the floor, struggling for daily meals, but eventually making it to the top of the ranks, just because they refuse to give up on their dreams. They wake up everyday in their hole, always looking up, and working towards reaching the sky.
Michael Jordan was rejected, humiliated, and made to believe he is no good. He was a zero in the eyes of the world, but some years down the line, the one that was rejected has won 6 NBA championships, 5 MVPs (Most Valuable Player), he became arguably the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) in the history of the NBA. He didn't just rise, he soared, turning every no and every rejection into a fuel for his legendary dynasty.
J.K. Rowling was a single mom on welfare, typing Harry Potter on napkins in cafes, rejected by 12 publishers, broke, depressed, invisible, but dauntless, now a billionaire author whose wizarding world enchanted billions. From zero she has risen to become a hero, she said to the universe, you are not putting me down, you are not getting the better of me. She rufused to accept rejection as a verdict on her life, but a reason to keep pushing.
We all start at zero, no fame, no fortune, no followers, just dreams rattling in our empty pockets, failures stacking like bricks, and doubts screaming louder than our beliefs. These are not roadblocks, they are the story of your journey. Heroes are not born, they are built. You can rise beyond your imagination, you can become unstoppable, you can become the next big thing, you just have to believe in yourself, put in the effort, and keep moving forward. Rise, be the hero.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
