One mistake that turned out to be a huge mistake was getting involved in a toxic relationship. At the time, I was in a perpetual state of stress and anxiety, and I was on the verge of being diagnosed with a kind of depression because of my personal and spiritual problems. I had also lost my grandfather, which left me emotionally hurt and losing my mind. I was tired of searching for God, which means I was really struggling to find the right meaning in my life. At the same time, I was tied up in a toxic relationship that really changed my life. It was bound to end in turmoil and disaster, and this decision was a mistake for me. I started to get involved in a relationship instead of focusing on myself. It ended in turmoil and disaster. My friend, Kiosh Frangiola, was with me, along with two psychologists, including Jordan Peterson, who really helped me change my life. At that time, I didn't take it seriously, but after watching a few videos, I started to feel a positive mental shift from hopelessness and spiritual loss to becoming an influential and developed person. I changed myself after watching many of his videos about God and self-improvement. After watching his videos, I started to complete a lot of assignments and achieved success in my studies.
