How I Discovered My Gift with David D. Simons

Ep.16 How Your Purpose Comes From Pain
EPISODE 16 • SEASON 00:24:32

In this episode, I talked about the painful experiences I’ve gone through in my life and how I was able to overcome these obstacles. Most of us have something in our past that’s a painful memory—a traumatic event, heartbreak or betrayal, years of bullying or rejection.

These challenges I had to go through, from watching my parents divorced to losing my brother weeks before my wedding, made me the person I am today. If it weren’t for these challenges, I would not be able to discover the gifts that I have right now. It made me realize my purpose and share it with the world.

I believe God created everything and nothing is created without a reason. When you can look back on the most difficult period in your life and feel gratitude instead of bitterness because you finally understand it was all part of God’s plan, that it was a catalyst toward realizing your purpose, that’s when everything changes.
