Loving this ðŸ‘‹

My story is a bit different: I was constantly told I wasn’t living up to my potential, so I stopped caring altogether. That changed during my military service. My brothers-in-arm and commanders saw me for who I truly was and valued me for it, recognizing qualities I hadn’t acknowledged in myself. That drove me to push harder and harder, ultimately graduating as a decorated paratrooper special forces officer. Since then, I’ve focused on proving to myself (and not others) that I’m fulfilling my potential.

"Every child needs one grown-up to believe in them."

The same goes for adults ðŸŒ»

I live by this with my kids and strive to extend it to everyone around me.
