Criss,

I am a recently separated Marine Corps Veteran, and also now a Full-time college student at ASU, I have a family of 5, and lately, I have lost patience with reality and the fact that times are tough, and I can't seem to get a grip that though life is tough, I will pull myself and my family through it.
I'm sure your beginnings were rough, with the loss of your father, and pursuing your passion with magic, but in those times when nothing was going right for you and you were short on funds, how did you stay positive? We just moved to Phoenix to try to start anew, and we hit problem after problem, and more recently, a lady not paying attention while driving slammed into our car and totaled it. What is your best advice, how did you overcome such adversity to success?

I know where you're coming from. I've been unemployed for two years, living with my parents and not a lot of money to live on, but I think the way Criss can survive the stress he has is with his family. Criss's family has always been there for him through the good times and the bad. My family has been there for me too helping me whenever I need it. I'd see if you can get some help from your family.
