"The things we consider to be our most catastrophic failures often lead us to our most fulfilling successes."

This quote really stuck with me as I feel like I've gone through one of my worst failures in my life. Nevertheless, thank you for this read, Polina!

Incredible job Polina!

This is my favorite Profile to date... and given Dwayne's reaction it seems like it might be his, too :)

Reading this in 2024 in times of need, your writing is awesome and on point!

I too was once at the "top of the hill", everybody loved me. But I got complacent and didn't remember to stay humble and remind myself that I could lose it anytime.

By simply gaining 40 pounds and becoming overworked and overtired (two young kids at home) my charisma is gone; everyone who "loved me" suddenly is too busy to meet me.

I'm slowly working my way back but I hope this time is different and I remind myself of how we can lose everything in the blink of an eye.

In our Profile Dossier, we explore the reasons why Dwayne Johnson is the most likable person in the world. https://thevacuumwizard.co.uk/product/dyson-v8-vacwiz-battery-power-pack-967834-02/
