Chapters
We all have a backstory. We all have circumstances that happen to us that can either be the anchor on why it's not happening, or it can be the fuel that drives you. Listen, I don't know your story. I'm not sure if your parents didn't tell you they loved you, they didn't believe in you all the way back then. Maybe you struggled in school, felt like an imposter. Maybe you're at a place right now where those insecurities still live. Deep down. I get it. You know, And I could name a bunch of them. I lived with my father for a while where he ran out of money, and I went to school without lunch money, and I would tell my friends I wasn't hungry. And then we lost our house, and we had no place to sleep. We were sleeping on people's couches and stuff. I had dyslexia in school. I have a lot of things. We all have it. And I was blessed. I'm not going to say it was magic. I was fortunate to use those as fuel, not as an anchor. So today, I want to challenge you. What is the backstory? You have it. And I'm sorry, but it can be used as your anchor or the wind behind your sailor.
