Use Your Problems as Fuel for Your Inner Fire

Where do my problems — like fear or lack of confidence — really come from?

I could say they stem from a shitty childhood or unresolved pain.

Maybe they do.

But that’s not the point.

The truth is: **those problems are in the past — and I’m standing right here, right now.**

I can take all of it — the doubt, the wounds, the weakness — and **burn it**.

Turn it into fuel for my inner fire.

And maybe, just maybe, I can invite the people I love to do the same.

To throw their pain into my fire and watch it become something brighter.
