One of the most complex questions I’ve ever asked myself is… Who am I?
With every experience and as each year goes by… my answer to that question evolves. And while reading Eve’s new book “Who’s That Girl?” I realized I’m not the only one.
We know her as the award winning rapper who took over the music scene before also becoming an actress, entrepreneur and talk show host. But who is Eve beyond all of those titles and accomplishments?
This is a question I’ve also had to ask myself many times. I grew up believing that I was the sum of my accomplishments. I thought that I needed fancy titles, accolades, and “success” to make me feel good about who I am.
But let’s just say God gave me a reality check on that philosophy. I now understand that who I am actually has nothing to do with what I do.
Appropriately named “Who’s That Girl?,” Eve shared in her book that she had a similar revelation through her own experiences.
Eve was known to millions of fans as a worldwide star who was living the life! And while that’s true, she also battled anxiety, alcohol addiction, a miscarriage, rejection, imposter syndrome, childhood trauma and failure.
Overcoming these experiences and finding healing for herself is how she uncovered who she is. What I loved about this conversation with Eve is her willingness to be open, which opened me up to a lot of my own answers.
Every experience she writes about in her book led her to becoming who she is. And I mean… who doesn’t want to live in their soft girl era?
So like Eve, understand that All things are leading you to answer the question.. Who Am I?
And your vision is depending on it…
