Quote #116: Joslyn Chulski

Hi, I'm Joslyn Chulski, I am a Senior Manager in Learning & Development for the Dow Legal Team and member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. A quote that is helping to ground me is “…becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self." - Michelle Obama

The reason I find this quote so apropos for 2025 is that “BECOMING” is my word of the year! The last few years I chose a word that was about being or doing more but through a conversation with my therapist we talked about how I’m often giving a lot out of me and not retaining much for myself; specifically: "Every year you make a resolution to change yourself, this year make a resolution to be yourself." This quote supports my continuous journey in wellbeing not only because it reminds me that wellbeing is a constant evolution, but so are many aspects of life. Life is linear in time only…it does not have to be that way for how you show up or how many times you start over or change your course. Give yourself permission to keep evolving!

So, I encourage you to think about a limiting belief you’ve set and challenge it to see what it and you can become! This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. Remember: You rock! - Joslyn
