"As an adolescent and into adulthood, I experienced a nagging sense of confusion of who I was and where I wanted to go in life. I ended up feeling like an insecure, inadequate outsider because I didn’t know what to do to achieve the happy, productive life I imagined everyone else had.
I wish someone had sat down with me years ago and explained the importance of knowing my natural abilities and how appreciating and using those abilities can lead to so much satisfaction, motivation, and commitment in life."
