We constantly focus on who we are in the present and who we want to be in the future, but it's important to remember who we were in the past and how that has helped us get to where we are and who we are today.

Humans will always crave attention and affirmation from others. However, these factors should only supplement our self-worth, not act as a foundational base. In this episode of Thick & Thin, I decide to stop wasting time digging for answers to "why?" and "what if?" But rather stay hopeful that we will get what we deserve if we remain optimistic.
