If you wait around for something to pick you up and take you exactly where you need to be, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life. You decide where your life goes by the actions you take right now.

Enzo Narciso, spent the majority of his emerging adult years waiting around for things to change in his life naturally. Instead of taking action himself, he found himself dropping out of high school and doing drugs. His drug use eventually led to an overdose that changed his life. After coming out of a coma, Enzo had to not only re-learn how to do simple tasks but also how to redirect his life. After a lot of hard work and trial and error, Enzo finds himself in a much better place and back in school.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Enzo joins Joanna to share his journey going from a high school dropout to studying Clinical Psychology to help anyone who may be on a similar path to the one he took when he was younger. Listen in for Enzo’s insight on how important taking action is, no matter how small it may be or how many tries it takes.
