I maintain a positive outlook by recognizing the blessings of a precious human life and the resources bestowed upon me. Every hurdle is viewed as a challenge, offering a valuable opportunity for learning. Reflecting on past hardships, initially perceived as ruinous, I now see them as lessons that propelled me forward. Throughout my journey, I firmly believe that God has consistently supported and guided me.
