"We're in an environment that's very discouraging. An environment that doesn't believe itself before it can even think of believing in you." 😔
This is true for many "Third World" countries. It's one of the reasons I hate the label. It leads to self-defeating attitudes.
It is what it is… God makes no mistake 👌
