Never lose hope ! ❤️ for LIFE!

Be an example

To be honest is to lead by example; not as I say, but as I DO. I am being hypocritical to encourage others to face fear with bravery if I do not act accordingly!

I have dealt with much in my life, but in the end I am only myself.) I have dealt with mental illness, physical disabilities, substance abuse , eating disorders, self mutilation, and on. Life is what you make it; I want to inspire people to have courage and be themselves in this world: regardless ofsex,religion, political, age, ethnicity, mental or physical state,ETC. Differences make us who we are, Nothing about an individual makes them “lesser”. I fight stereotypes on a daily basis; I find myself wiser now that I do not let society dictate my value. Know yourself and be confident in the wonder that is you. I created my page to inspire others and Impart my experiences in the hope that it may brighten and lend a sense of hope. I am a USAPL powerlifter and Paralympics hopeful. I hold 4 NASM CPTs. I’m a CNU philosophy major. I have also studied Psychology , Business , journalism, and medicine. I am currently also a writer. I am also a peer counselor, advocate for NAMI (mental health. Cerebeller stroke and spinocerebellar ataxia battler. Sober and recovered from an eating disorder since 2013.

    It is hard to know who is being honest and truthful these days. 🙁
    The term “Honest Abe” is gone with the ……. fill in the blank.

    Although when we look back on the past years ….. years from now ….. I suspect there will be many who are remembered for their bravery to speak out.

    I won’t be around to read about it.

    I wholeheartedly agree! It takes bravery to speak out and face fear; whatever the situation!

    Bravery entails facing fears and acting despite them

    I read your profile. All of us face some kind of fear or difficult circumstance. Perhaps the first step is to identify it as such. Accept it and then start to work on it. A problem may never be completely be resolved. It is the work that is important.

    Agree! Problems are endlessly workable!
    I don’t think they’re ever 100% as long as you’re alive; improvement is possible!!
