IMPACT STORIES
BEYOND SUCCESS PROGRAM- SCHOOLS
Naydelin, is a young woman from the city of Sucre, capital of Bolivia, who tells us that
she lived in depression and sadness and without motivation to live.
"The meaning of life refers to the meaning that each one gives to their experiences, purposes and
goals that they have in mind. It varies depending on each person, since each individual needs to
find their own meaning in life by taking a trip to their inside".
“My life has no meaning, I feel like I am drifting, aimlessly. I don't know what I want, nothing
motivates me enough and I don't find my way in life“.
Perhaps we feel identified with these words, since we have all felt that way at some point.
Downturns and existential crises are inevitable at certain stages.
She said, do I need to make changes in my life? What do I feel?
I think, what do I want? Do I give myself the priority I need? Am I really who I want to be?
She tells us that while she was passing the classes she realized that she was thinking a lot
about herself, "it's like while you stay focused on a goal or a person, you don't pay attention to
what's happening inside you" -She tells us- For what, to a great extent, before "my life has no
meaning" looked within herself and saw that God was there.
Naydelin decided to give her life to Jesus, but that did not stop there, today she is part of a
discipleship with her friend Rubí who also participated in the Beyond Success course, it has
been more than 4 weeks since the discipleship began to learn more about the life and work of
Jesus Christ.
