How to align wrapped lines under text

I’m trying to align wrapped lines of a paragraph under the text that comes after a label like this:

 

But this: ‘Does a runner think they’re not a real runner until they run a marathon?
Does a basketballer think they’re not a basketballer until they play in the Olympics?
You become a writer by writing.’


Right now, I can get it to look correct by using a Tab and then adding manual spaces, but I’d like to know the proper InDesign way to do this ?

Did you make and are they you using a paragraph style that includes defining a left indent and also a negative first line indent and possibly also a tab defined to the same distance?

If you do, you do not need manual tabs and spacebar spaces.

Thanks! I only set a left indent in my paragraph style  I didn’t add a negative first-line indent or matching tab stop
