The resource is so great in a way that it has helped me to understand myself better. What I'm doing today is great, I just have to keep on pushing, believing in my efforts and embracing my capabilities, knowing what matters to me and how to utilize the opportunities I come across to the fullest.

 

I liked that it helped me have another point of focus and to think through my emotions and how they can help me be better
