INTRODUCTION

•Life often takes us down roads we never expected. Sometimes, we fall in love with the wrong things—chasing pleasures, people, or paths that lead us further away from our purpose. These wrong turns can leave us feeling lost, broken, or feeling unworthy of a second chance. But the truth is, even in our lowest moments, in our darkest hours, we are being shaped, refined, and prepared for something greater.

•Every mistake made carries a seed of understanding that leads to growth. Every disappointment holds a hidden lesson. For every loss, is not a loss it’s a valuable lesson learned. You are not here by accident, and your story is far from over. This series, I Am Built for This: Rising Beyond What Tried to Break Me, is for anyone ready to rise after falling, to discover strength in the struggle, and to reclaim their life. This is for the dreamer who got sidetracked, the fighters who felt defeated, and the survivors who are still learning to believe in themselves.

•Here, we will explore the lessons that come from wrong choices, the strength to rise again, the courage to heal, the power to rewrite your story, and the boldness to walk in your true purpose. So, if you’ve ever wondered if you could overcome the weight of your past, let this be your reminder: You are built for this. Not just to endure—but to rise, to thrive, and to become the person you were always meant to be.
