Overcoming All Odds

By Halston Victoria Quinn -

 Life is all about learning, living in the moment, and making a difference within each and every day. Positivity is all it takes. I'll tell you from my own experiences that encouraging others, helps me stay positive. Sometimes I teach myself things I forget in the moment due to frustration and self-doubt. If there is one thing I know, it's that devotion and perseverance are key to mastering anything. 


 I've had 24 brain surgeries and two strokes. Later, developed some learning disabilities.  Yes, I have memory issues, and getting my point across can  be frustrating! The one major thing I am and will always be grateful for though,  is that I'm alive. 

I beat the ODDS that we're thrown at me. My past made me stronger because I had to undergo so much , so young. The experiences I had , changed/shaped me into who I am.
We need to acknowledge and reflect on our victories. Both big , and small. 

 


Ask yourselves:

*Has your past made you stronger?
* How should you act in the face of adversity?
*What new experiences have you had, and have they changed/ shaped you?
*What new things do you plan on trying in the future?


Reflect everday. 
Has my past made me stronger? 
Absolutely.
Having brain surgery, and trouble in school did not stop me from going and getting the prize I wanted. 

To answer the ❓ how should you act in the face of adversity? Well, resilient!
I've had a lot of new experiences and they've all shaped me. Learn new things and live in the moment! I beat the ODDS in my life, you can beat them in yours.  If you are currently feeling like everything is just too much to handle, you're not quite sure what to do, Never ever quit! Be yourself and Have faith. God is in control!

Know your Limitations

By Halston Victoria Quinn -

Are you a relentless individual who doesn't stop no matter how they're feeling? Regardless if you're tired, anxious, frustrated, etc? Emphasis on tired. If you are, I want to talk about recognizing/knowing your own limitations. Not only what you can handle, but recognizing what it is you'll tolerate from others as well.  Have you ever had a lot of your mind and organizing those thoughts felt like an absolute rollercoaster ride?  School? Friends? Work? YOU Can: *Set a schedule  * Take Breaks  *DO NOT TAKE ON MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE ALL AT ONCE Are you an empathetic individual who tends to take on more weight than they should? Do you tend to feel that there are times when you'll care more about how others feel and then leave yourself on the sidelines? *Recognize your limits You can be someone's friend and be there to hold their hand,  but if you know someone who only reaches out to you when they need something and then never responds when you need them, it's

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'
