Robin Roberts ‘monday motivation’
Meanwhile, ‘GMA’ host Robin Roberts also shared a cryptic post on social media upon her return to the show following a short break. She welcomed back her GlamFam and followers during her morning message and prayer. Roberts, 62, posted a video of herself where she held a cell phone and talked about ‘Monday motivation’. She started with, “Starting off today with the morning message and prayer. And here it is, we all go through things that are unfair. People do us wrong."
She continued feeling motivated and pumped, “We came down with an illness. It is so easy to live with the victim mentality, thinking we're at a disadvantage. We were shortchanged. We can't do anything great. We can't love again because the last person hurt us. We can't be happy because we lost too much." Roberts went on to boost his fans adding, “As long as you accept that you're a victim, you're going to get stuck. Don't use what you've been through as an excuse to feel sorry for yourself. Don't let it limit you to not pursue your dreams. Let me tell you something right here. Nothing that has happened to you, has stopped your destiny. When someone did you wrong and walked away, yes, it was painful, but they didn't ruin your life. They don't have that much power."
The ‘GMA’ host who was the first woman of color and the first openly LGBT woman to host the gameshow ‘Jeopardy!’ concluded, “With his strong right arm, God will work out his plan for you. Now, do your part and play the role of a victor."
