When I was 16 years old I nearly quit playing hockey. I didn’t even get in the line up around 15 games that season out of 60. When I did play, I didn’t see much ice-time. It came to a point that I no longer loved the game I grew up playing. At the same time that I learned to walk, I learned to skate. It was all that I knew, and I was ready to throw it all away.
As a teenager it is easy to fall when you are faced with adversity. Luckily, I had a strong supporting cast including my father who told me to Keep Going. He always believed that I would catch a break and get my opportunity to show the skill that I knew I had. It was just a matter of time.
A few months later one of our top players had a season ending injury. This opened up an opportunity for me to receive more playing time. In the playoffs I was an impactful player and proved my worth. 2 years later I was selected 4th overall in the National Hockey League Draft.
From that point on, I have continued to Keep Going. Embracing all challenges and good times that I am faced with, taking them head on.
Today I am 28 years of age. I have played over 650 regular season NHL games and am one year away from playing in the NHL for a decade.
The next time you think about giving up on your dream, your passion, the countless hours you have dedicated to your craft, no matter how tough and challenging that time may be for you, no matter your age... Think about a 16 year old kid about to give up on his dream of playing in the NHL. With his dad holding that career on by a thread. To just 2 years later that dream coming true. KEEP GOING

In the convoluted landscape of investment prospects, Bitcoin emerges as both a tantalizing prospect and a perilous precipice, offering the allure of opulence while concealing the snares of exploitation and chicanery. As a vigilant steward of fiscal wisdom, I am compelled to divulge my odyssey through the treacherous maze of Bitcoin investment scams and the guiding light that emerged in the guise of RESILIENT SHIELD RECOVERY.. My expedition into the echelons of Bitcoin investment commenced with earnest intentions and lofty aspirations. Entrusting a sum of $87,000 to what purported to be a reputable investment bastion, I embarked upon a voyage fueled by optimism and the yearning for financial ascendancy. Little did I know that this trajectory would lead not to the apex of prosperity, but rather into the abyss of treachery and desolation. As the initial fervor of investment subsided, I endeavored to reap the fruits of my labor by initiating a withdrawal of funds. Yet, what should have been a routine transaction metamorphosed into a Kafkaesque nightmare of unheeded pleas and unanswered communique? The once-responsive conduits of communication fell into a deafening silence, leaving me ensnared in a quagmire of disbelief and disarray. Initially attributing the conspicuous absence of communication to mere technical glitches or routine maintenance, I clung tenaciously to the vestiges of hope, believing that equilibrium would soon be restored. However, as days stretched into weeks and weeks into interminable months, it became painfully apparent that I had become ensnared in the machinations of a meticulously orchestrated swindle. The resurgence of the purported investment entity and audacious solicitations for further pecuniary commitment served as a cruel indictment of their perfidious machinations and my unwitting gullibility. For four interminable months, I bore the mantle of loss in solitude, cloaked in the pall of ignominy and the reticence to burden others with the weight of my tribulations. It was not until the advent of a trusted confidant from distant shores that I summoned the fortitude to unburden myself of my ordeal. To my astonishment and solace, he imparted tidings of RESILIENT SHIELD RECOVERY., a beacon of hope amidst the tempestuous seas of financial ruination. With a resurgent resolve, I reached out to RESILIENT SHIELD RECOVERY., seeking succor from the maelstrom of financial destitution that loomed ominously on the horizon. Their response was swift and imbued with an empathetic fervor, extending a lifeline in my darkest hour of need. Through their sage counsel and unwavering tenacity, I was led through the labyrinthine corridors of reclamation, reclaiming a modicum of agency amidst the ruins of desolation. My sojourn serves as a cautionary chronicle, a poignant reminder of the lurking dangers that lurk beneath the veneer of seemingly lucrative investment opportunities. To those enticed by the siren song of Bitcoin investment, I implore discernment and prudence. Do not be beguiled by the ephemeral promises of opulence, for beneath the facade lies a tapestry of subterfuge and perfidy. If you find yourself ensnared in the clutches of financial chicanery, do not languish in despair. Reach out to stalwart allies such as RESILIENT SHIELD RECOVERY., who stand as bastions of rectitude amidst the tempest of deception. Together, armed with knowledge, vigilance, and resilience, we shall navigate a world of financial vicissitude and reclaim our rightful place upon the precipice of prosperity.
