I'VE DARED TO DREAM, BUT I'VE FAILED. NOW WHAT? Keeping hope alive can be daunting when life has presented reasons not to. Even if we are making strides professionally or financially, doing this with a deficit of accurate self-awareness can stunt our true potential. In the face of insurmountable grief, loss, or disappointment, thriving can become laborious, and the desire to give up speaks loudly. However, finding our true identity, channeled through self- awareness, can bring holistic liberty and healing to our lives.
