Are you willing to sacrifice who you want to be in order to become who you were meant to be? This is a pretty deep question but before you get to a place that you can answer it there are a couple of other questions that you must answer. What is your identity and what is your purpose? These questions will require some deep and honest reflection but once you have a picture of them that is clearer everything else will begin to fall into place. Excuses are exit ramps that will take us off of the path of our purpose, don't allow them to rob any more time from the significance and impact that we were made to have on others.
No matter where or what you came from, great things can come from you!
