Friends, I spent the majority of my life struggling with my mindset. As a trauma specialist, I understand that much of this can directly be connected to the trauma I experienced as a child. Despite the trauma, I’ve always been driven to truly LIVE my life … to do something important in this world … to help people. While simultaneously struggling with a mindset that constantly echoed in my thoughts that I wasn’t good enough, smart enough, educated enough, achieved enough to do anything other than SURVIVE. Thankfully, along this journey, I discovered that I didn’t have to stay in my trauma. I discovered I didn’t have to wrap myself in an identity of a broken, hopeless person. I discovered that no matter what happened to me … no matter who hurt me … no matter the barriers I faced in life … I could do anything I put my mind to. This discovery started a journey of change. It no longer became about NOT being able to do something because of my trauma and lack … It became about DOING IT ANYWAY! And I LOVE looking in the face of doubt and DOING IT ANYWAY! It’s exhilarating! It’s empowering. And it’s true. I can do ANYTHING I put my mind to. So can you! The question for you is this: What do you want MORE … to be acknowledged as a victim of trauma and adversity OR to step into an identity of VICTOR and OVERCOMER? Let it be the latter … and get to work making it happen!
