of inadequacy because I always grow from them.

00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:53.319

you to work on your goals and always see things

through. I exist for a purpose. One thing that

00:04:16.470 --> 00:04:18.730
steals your confidence or zeal in life is that

00:04:18.730 --> 00:04:21.310
you haven't realized your purpose yet, so you

00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:24.110
feel you're just drifting along. Knowing your

00:04:24.110 --> 00:04:26.750
