So I would not let my mortal body die; I would keep it alive and propel it forward by the only means possible.

“In my quest to attain self-awareness. I came across something that shocked me, that inflicting pain emotionally, physically, and maybe psychologically is an easy process towards attaining glory.

I have made decisions that pained me, took some steps that chopped off my legs, stake some highs that brought me down, but one thing has always remained, my quest for perfection, cause my failures didn't pull me down and can never.

My failures gave me reasons to see that a part of me is human and the other part is god, and until I allow the god part of me to manifest in its full potential, I will not amount to anything and the most annoying part is that this god part seeks daring, sacrifices, pains and most of all glory; for glory ends it all.

Every teacher, every spiritual leader, every religious leader knows this.

We can not attain glory except by pain. I have accepted mine, and glory is on the way.”
― Lord Uzih
