Be the hero of your own story.
BECAUSE NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE YOU.
I am living proof that you can change the entire trajectory of your life.
|| LET ME EXPLAIN…
I grew up in an environment where illness was the norm. Both disease and dis-ease were anticipated and expected components of life. It was everywhere I looked; up at my elders, left and right at my brothers, and even down on myself. By 22 I no longer had grandparents and most of my great aunts and uncles had previously passed, most commonly from heart failure or cancer - all of which were aggressively sped up by depression and/or poor lifestyle and lack of personal accountability.
My education on health and wellness began in 2010 when I felt somewhere in my heart that poor health and suffering weren’t entirely dependent on fate or genetic predisposition...but rather the compounding effects of daily choice.
As the years passed by, I grew increasingly resistant to the widely accepted notion that we are victims to the cards we are dealt and that there’s little to be done about it.
be brave enough to initiate the change
I began to deeply assess the choices I was making on a day by day basis that influenced my health and wellness (both mind + body), and I began to objectively observe the decisions that the people around me were making too. I was able to see which choices were generational trends, which were made out of ignorance and lack of knowledge, which by fear, and which were willingly decided upon.
As I started to make more conscious decisions towards my health across all 8 aspects of wellness, I developed this new-found sense of control over my life and my future.
I knew that if I persisted with this new approach to life that I could free myself entirely from victim-hood. My future would no longer depend on my past and my health wouldn’t necessarily have to walk the same path as every family member - previous. I finally felt like I could contribute to the script that was my life!
After years of persistently re-wiring my daily thoughts and habits, I finally felt open and receptive to all that life was trying to offer me. I simultaneously felt freedom and control over my life.
I inarguably believe that the quality of our lives is solely influenced by choice; we choose our reactions, we choose our attitudes, we choose our social group, we choose our coachability and learning initiative.
Day by day I could feel the chains and shackles loosen.
We choose to actively change generational trends and heal old trauma, and leave the hurt and suffering with those to which it actually belongs.
And it’s the compounding effect of these daily choices that shapes our lives!
If everybody understood that they have the power to re-write the direction of their lives, nobody would be a victim to their past or their family’s past.
If you’re reading this, deep down within you must have the same feeling that I too once felt; a longing for freedom, a calling for choice.
