Moments We Live For

Image
Sitting here with someone I love and making memories. Going on dates, eating food, going to the spots from our childhood dreams, and watching movies that make us smile. These are the moments we live for. Changing the lives of children daily. Never wondering "Hey, did I make someone smile lately"?  Being a role model, hero, and life changer, these are the moments we live for. Thinking about the beginning of my life and how  I gained hydrocephalus and needed to have brain surgery which caused me to have headaches, memory loss, and dizziness. Due to these circumstances, I was premature. However, when I am laughing with family and good friends reminiscing about the good times that made us, I think about how blessed I am to be alive and all of the gifts god has granted me.   Living life and taking names, these are the moments we live for.      Having family time, going to the movies with friends, and going for walks on a breezy day, are the moments we live for. Sit down and have a

How can you TRANSFORM your Mindset?

Good Evening and Happy #TransformationTuesday  Life is an unpredictable ride. We won't always be aware of what's going to happen next, and that's okay! The itinerary is all in God's plan. Transform your thoughts from an overthinking view to going with the flow. Yes. Stress can appear in many different ways. Finance , job loss, not understanding something new. When push comes to shove, we see what we're made of!  Take deep breaths and tell yourself , I can do this! Not only have I done it before , but with God , all things are possible! Personally , when I have been put in a situation Ive never been in before  and I feel a sense of confusion or anxiety, I set personal goals for myself surrounding the topic. For example, how to organize your schedule to fit in all of your priorities. In this case I set a schedule for myself so that I wouldn't feel like I didn't have enough time.  What are you going to do today to transform your mindset from Can'

TIME IS EVERYTHING

HAS YOUR PAST MADE YOU STRONG?    Yes. My past has  made me who I am today by allowing me to make wrong turns also by helping me with anxiety bursts that were not needed. At times I tend to be an OVERTHINKER. I  care too much. I  believe the main reason for this is , because I have a love of learning and   that there are horizons to be broadened everywhere.   Did it take some time and does it take time to this day   for me to learn material than other? Yes. Although, my resilience and determination got me to this point and is how I will stay here.  GšŸ’œ GAINS RšŸ’™ RESILIENCE O šŸ’› OPTIMISM W šŸ’š WORTH T  šŸ’–    TENACITY H  šŸ’—  HUMBELNESS SELF-LOVE Self-love is so very important. Feed yourself the same energy that you give to others. We should all practice this DAILY. In my life, I have faced many challenges. Although, none of them have ever made me want to quit trying. I would not be who I am or where I am today without these hurdles. He who strives for progress after failure will succeed.

MESSAGE TO YOUNG TEENS AND ADULTS WITH LEARNING AND LEARNING-RELATED DIFFERENCES... šŸ’œšŸ’œšŸ’œ Dear children, teens, and adults like me in 2023 (Most Unique Human Beings) of 2023, you are strong. You are worthy of love and capable of going wherever you want in life. They say "Always turn the other cheek when others doubt your abilities." There's a set amount of times you can do that until you decide internally that standing up for yourself, is the best option. It is okay, and you have every right to say "No do not treat my friends this way."  Especially, when it's your gut telling you something is wrong. We are worth so much more than average. We're all equal in our ways We are Different, NOT less than the rest. All we want is to be included and accepted. As someone with learning-related disabilities, I've learned a few things about the world. For example, not everyone will understand you, and that's okay. Some things aren't worth explaining. As

It's that time of year again! Turkeys and Spreading thanks to the ones we love all around! Although,  Thanksgiving should not be the only time we recognize and show our gratitude.  We should be doing this all year round.ALL YEAR LONG WE ARE THANKFUL  Reflect on your days. You'll be amazed with the progress you'll make each day of your life , wake up and strive to be the best version of who you truly are.

It's good to sit down and reflect. Reflect on what has already happened. Discuss what you're grateful for daily with the ones who mean the most to you.  Input positivity .  Embrace all of the go

Lessons that Stick like Glue

.  Has anyone ever given you a piece of advice that you will always continue to carry with you no matter what? My high school math teacher would say to me frequently,  " Life's too short too stress" .  As well as my English teacher would say  "You can't motivate someone who doesn't want to be motivated".  In case you're wondering, what have these two pieces of advice helped me with? Well when I was in high school and even to this day, due to my love of learning and the fact that I care way too much in certain aspects about others, I have a tendency to overthink and over feel. My personal strategies include: taking deep breaths, writing, feeding myself positive energy, or thinking of the people who have encouraged me and helped me get to where I am now.  "You can't motivate someone who doesn't want to be Motivated " Personally, when I was in high school I approached my former English Teacher for advice on what he thought I should hel

DEEP BREADTHS

How important is it to find a strategy that suits you when you're under stress? I'd say it's essential. LIFE'S TOO SHORT TOO STRESS When someone is under stress  but all they do is take all of they're anger, sadness, and tension out on you, all that will do is build up tension within you. Why  do we choose strategies such as:   slamming doors, yelling at people , and pointing fingers instead of communicating feelings?  It always seems like whenever we don't feel well , we're depressed , or we're frustrated , we'll say anything! In the moment, some just don't seem to care. Later, they will regret their words and actions. We all need to do better at thinking before we speak. But also , considering others feelings.  For example, if someone is sick the way they're feeling is the only thing they're focused on so if they lash out at you, try not to take it personally. They're in a funk. Take DEEP BREADTHS  so that you do not sa
