KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are adopted, as Dr Mark was, it causes a gap in your heart that can't be filled unless you get answers. We all deserve to know where we come from and who we really are. Everyone has the power to make a positive impact in the world if we can just take our pains and turn them into a game - take the scars we gain in life and turn them into stars. If you're setting goals in life that are within our reach, then they're not really goals. You have to set the bar higher than you're comfortable with, because only then do we achieve true growth. The word may not have known it, but we were in need of a rest. We were becoming far too complacent. COVID and its hangover have shown us that we were losing our way. We should embrace the change that has come in its wake. BEST MOMENTS 'The way you're brought up shapes who you are as an adult' 'Anything is possible for anybody if they just believe hard enough and work hard enough' 'If you set goals that are high enough where you can reach them - the goals are too low' 'We've forgotten how to ask the question "Why?" and I'm grateful to do that' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Dr Mark Sherwood - https://sherwood.tv Dr Mark Sherwood Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fmidr  Dr Mark Sherwood Twitter - https://twitter.com/MarkSherwood4E  Dr Mark Sherwood Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drs_mark_and_michele_/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EllieMckay
