Your past may have influenced you, but your future is created by the person you decide to become.

We define that ourselves by choosing who we wish to become. Each decision, each act of courage, each dream we dare to nurture pulls us further from old narratives and closer to the life waiting within us. You are not your wounds. You are your becoming.
