Quotes:

“It's not about me. I'm a vessel, I'm being obedient, I'm asking the right questions so that someone can benefit, and I'm highlighting this person and being aware of their situation and serving them."– John Shibley
"Don't let your past write checks your future can't cash." – John Shibley
“The end of the story is not how tragic your life was. The end of the story is really there's not one. Breaking through and being resilient through hardship is part of the point of all of this, like how we come out on the other side because other people benefit from our story.”– John Shibley

Takeaways:

Embracing spirituality or faith can offer clarity and a sense of purpose, guiding your life with a clear mission.
Feeling lost or uncertain after college is a common experience as you navigate life's journey and discover your path. But resilience, perseverance, and faith can help lead to breakthroughs on the other side.
Understanding that struggles are a natural part of life can provide comfort and motivation, knowing they don't dictate your future direction.

Conclusion:

If you feel lost in your life, find your purpose. Serve others with your gifts. Help people through hard times. Stay strong when life is hard. Keep trying new things until you feel better. Your past doesn't mean your future. Stay hopeful and help others, too.
