I get motivated so much when someone puts me down, I feel like I have this unbelievable power and motivation to succeed to proof them wrong!
I think this is literally the reason behind every success I have accomplished so far.
Can someone explain why?

Someone along the way told you that you weren't good enough and you took it as a challenge.

Which isn't a bad thing, except when you get to a place that you're content and someone challenges your contentment based on their opinion of what constitutes "good enough."

My opinions are my own and based on my own experiences - maybe I'm overreaching.

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down.

I’ve spent a long time working in nonprofits and higher education and I am so excited that I’ll finally be leaving. I feel like I’ve been in a cult for over 10 years and I feel extremely jaded and played. Yes I know many of you are going to laugh at me for believing that working for nonprofits or education was a good thing, but I sincerely did think that what I was doing was for the greater good. I’m embarrassed I used to think that way. I can’t wait to leave and never come back. 🏃🏾‍♀️
