Quote #208: Meaghan Cohen

Hi, I'm Meaghan, Sr. Director of Operations at McIvor Marketing. I'm a cat mom, fun auntie, world traveler, and member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. A quote that centers and inspires me is, "Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself." The author is unknown, but it makes me think of my mother, who sent me this card shortly after I'd moved out of the house after college.

The reason I find this quote so inspiring is because it removes the idea that you are a stagnant, and instead allows you a lifetime of endless possibilities to become the person you want to be. This quote supports my wellbeing by reminding me that I am responsible for being who I want to be, and that can change and evolve throughout my life. It also reminds me that I am loved and encouraged to be the person I want to be.

So, instead of trying to figure out who you are based on the past, could you try deciding who you want to be in the future instead? This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. Cheers!
