About This Quote

When you fail to tap into your wellsprings of inner strength due to toxic habits, environments or people, you wind up feeling trapped, stranded and unhappy. You end up in soulless jobs, destructive relationships and empty friendships. Most of all, you find yourself unsatisfied with who you are, and you often become your own worst enemy, perpetuating the cycles of pain, anger and fear within you – like I did. When I began my journey to become the person I am today I was living a double life.

In a sense, I was a fake person. For years I was able to hide my misery from everyone I knew. I told myself that everything was fine – but it wasn’t.

Along the way – as a co-worker – I met a man who would change my life forever – beyond what any of us could have ever imagined! He taught me to trust that no matter what happened next – it would be okay.
