Transcript
Why do people who seem to have everything still feel like they’re running away from something? No amount of money, status, or success can silence the voice that says you’re not enough. The running never stops until you turn around and face what’s actually chasing them. Success doesn't heal. It just gives you a nicer view while you're still bleeding. The running never stops until you turn around and face what's actually chasing them.
