The common denominator for all people is that none of our parents are perfect. Whether we experienced a healthy and stable family dynamic or a tumultuous upbringing, we all enter adulthood with an incompleteness or deficit. Some of us had it better than others, but no one is exempt. Bridge the Gaps is a personal development guide and resource that serves the purpose of compensating for those deficits. This guide will provide the tools that individuals can use to grow in three areas:
-Self-awareness: To get clear on how you are wired and what you are called to do in this world.
-Self-development: To get equipped to set and reach deeply meaningful goals.
-Self-care: To cultivate the ability to love yourself and your community.
Our ability to bring about change personally and communally is determined by our willingness to discover our God-given purpose and flesh out these tools to reflect our God given uniqueness. This will not only benefit you. It will benefit the greater community. I am here today because someone made the world better for me even though they would never meet me. I choose to pay it forward with this work. We work so that future generations would have a better start than we may have had. We work so that their tomorrow will be better than our yesterday. We work so that they have the motivation, the tools, and the safety that we may not have had. We work to Bridge the Gaps.
