I read something this morning on ✖️ from Alex Hormozi, and it really made me pause and reflect...
He wrote:
“You’re right. You had it harder. You started with less. Bad things happened to you. But believing those things limit you , prevents you from becoming an example to everyone else like you. Be the one who had it worse but still did better.”
When I read that, I whispered to myself...“Now that’s a profound, soul-stirring truth.”
So, I rewrote it in my own words — my Grandma Grady version:
“I’m the one who had it the worst...I had the hardest childhood. I’ve known years of poverty-level financial struggles. I’ve been hurt, betrayed, and physically and menially abused.
HERE I AM TODAY!! — living proof that I am NOT defined by my circumstances!!
I DID BETTER! I did a hell-of-a-lot better!! 🙏 My children had the kind of childhood I could only dream of and for the last 40 years, no man has laid a hand upon me nor have I had to worry about where my next penny was coming from; I have plenty of food, cozy warm shelter, and an abundance of favor from God.
God has been faithful — always.” 💖
✨ Beautiful Souls, let this be your reminder that our past may explain you, but it does not define you.
Through faith, grace, and perseverance, you can rise —and become the living example someone else needs to see. 💫
