#AskHannah [Part 2 of 2] …continued. - Not long after that, doctors discovered a tumour on a nerve in her brain, the same year she was diagnosed with a 2nd recurrence of a cancerous cyst in her ovary which led to a major open surgery. - Due to contractual obligations within that same month, she was back on her feet performing on her Japanese debut promo tour in 40 locations throughout Japan while enduring much pain caused by internal bleeding from the recent surgery. - With the beginning of a third cyst relapse & divine intervention through a natural disaster, that girl returned home & pursued to build her career in business. - If you haven’t already realized, that 16 year old girl that ran away from home is the same girl that is writing this story. - A lot has happened in my life over the last 20 years since running away from home. - I’ve had my share of lows - abusive relationships, unsuccessful ventures, wanting to give up on life entirely, failed business partnerships, debt, being sabotaged at work, racial discrimination, major health issues, wrong investment decisions. - For almost 2 decades now, I worked an average of 18–21 hour days which eventually took a toll on my body. - But today, thanks to all those blessings in disguise, the grace of God & the wonderful people that I have crossed paths with along the way, I’ve learnt to appreciate the value of life, love, health, contentment, & complete trust in my Heavenly Father. - I never understood why I had to go through what I went through, but today, I have a story to tell & a message of encouragement to share. - I believe we didn’t wake up this morning & got an extra day in our lives because we needed it. We got an extra day in our lives because someone out there needs us. - So if you’re going through a character-building season in your life right now, remember that we all have the power to say, THIS IS NOT HOW MY STORY WILL END. - Cheering you on super people. Love you. - #HannahTan #TrueStory - P/s: Making #Hawaii my second home/office right here @princewaikiki. Sunset views, 8mins to Ala Moana Mall. - @airasia @gohawaiisea (at Prince Waikiki)
