"If You're FEELING LOST In Life, Use These SECRETS TO FIND YOURSELF!" | Tim Storey & Lewis Howes

Identity Truth

Tim Storey shares his journey of discovering his true identity amidst a web of family secrets. Growing up, he believed he was part of a Spanish family, only to later learn about his African-American heritage. This revelation forced him to reconcile his past beliefs with his present reality. Tim reflects on this journey, saying:

I thought I was one thing. Even though everybody at school was saying, like, you're black, or, I bet you're a good dancer. And I would then at that point just say, we're all mixed with something because I knew something was up, but no one would tell me.

He emphasizes the importance of stopping, looking within, and listening to one's inner voice to uncover one's true identity 1 2.

   

Finding Self

Tim's path to finding his identity was intertwined with his career as a preacher, where he gained fame but felt a void within. Despite his success, he struggled with understanding who he truly was, a journey that involved education, conversation, and observation. Tim shares a poignant moment with a therapist who helped him see beyond the shame associated with his family's secrets:

She cried because she said, like, this story is deep, Tim. She literally started crying. She's African American. And she said, it's so unfair, but your mother must have connected this to some type of shame.

--- Tim Storey

Through these experiences, he learned to embrace his identity, understanding that it was shaped by both his upbringing and the people he encountered 3 4.

   

Limitations

Breaking free from societal and personal limitations has been a significant part of Tim's journey. Raised in a religious environment, he initially held rigid beliefs about sin and morality, which he later unlearned to embrace a more inclusive perspective. Tim describes this transformation:

I decided to unlearn a lot of stuff that I was taught. I see it as we're learning, we're growing, we're evolving.

--- Tim Storey

He also shifted from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, influenced by mentors who challenged his views on humility and success. This mindset change allowed him to see beyond limitations and embrace a more authentic identity 5 6.
