Chapters
You can give one lesson to the world, one, just one tiny thing that somebody could think about today, write it down in their little journal. What's the one thing you wish people saw differently in the world now that you've been through a pathway most will never go down? Yeah. And people have their own preconceived notions about what that pathway looks like. Thanks to TV.
Yeah.
Thanks to things they've heard. Cause they've never experienced it, but you've lived it. What's the one thing, like maybe your kids grow up and they get asked, what did you learn from your mom's pathway? Yeah. You only get one though. And I probably, there's probably 85.
There are, but I will say that it, God, how do I even call it to one? I mean, So I, what I believe is that we are all as humans, the universal truth is we will all face some struggle. There will be something that we, um, have to face in our lives that is not what we would've chosen for our lives, whether it's medical, legal, financial, marital, we all will let go through something. I would like I think when we're kids, we believe that we can avoid it, which is what I thought I could avoid as a kid by getting the best grades and going to the best schools. But it's a fallacy, right? Like, it's just impossible. And so if and when we can acknowledge that we will go through some struggle, when we go through that struggle, I think our challenge is, and what I hope my legacy is, is that we all know that we can rise through it no matter what. And it's not easy. It means that you have to be intentional about how you are approaching Every single thing you go through every single day.
