“There is good and bad that comes from suffering. It is such an interesting balance. When I think about my life, I think about the bad things I went through and how those have made me who I am.”
“I became myself by trying to be everything else.”
“There were so many years I tried to define myself, and heard something the other day where the message from God is simply, ‘I AM.’”
“Even saying ‘I am’ gives me goosebumps because I am not one thing. I am ALL of the things. I am everything. And I am nothing. All at the same time.”
“I have intentionally been trying to move away from what defines me.”
“When I live in my truth, I know I am helping other people.”
“When you think of other people first, you will be happier. That is the balance in life. I need to focus on myself and others.” - will beck
