Haha Lovely drawing... you look like one of those ancient Egyptian princesses in it lol + I really do appreciate the fact that although like you said, you failed in some of your past businesses it didn't change your determination or make you lose focus on that which lay ahead. But against all odds you remained dogged in your desire to succeed and achieve that freedom you so desire, despite facing the challenges of everyday life, including being a single parent which has it's own joys and an equally fair share of challenges as well.
Failure does not give us any right whatsoever to give up because we don't "fail" when we fail but only do when we give up. The fact that you didn't give up led you here today on this platform, and if you had given up earlier I probably will not be writing this comment because this inspirational post will not be here in the first place. We all can draw true courage and inspiration from this. Thanks for not giving up Stella!
