What we do with life’s challenges makes us the people we ultimately are – it’s how we respond to life’s curve balls especially that determines our character and what we achieve. It’s truly astounding, and can be incredibly intimidating, that possibility is boundless. We can reinvent ourselves over and again, if we summon the courage and put forth the worthwhile effort. We’re only as stuck in our lives as we convince ourselves to be. Question is – what is it that each of us aches to become in this lifetime? And can we find the courage, determination, and persistence to realize these precious dreams for ourselves? In this episode, we meet someone who has, and might just show us the way, as she continues to reinvent herself.
