It’s the morning of my graduation, and I am teary about it. I wasn’t actually going to go to it initially purely because my brain can’t cope with being around that many people at one given time, but I knew I’d regret it, so I went along anyways with my four kids in tow. I wipe tears periodically throughout the morning while getting ready. The realization that I've made it this far fills my chest with the weight that I never thought I would. I had spent my time studying for this degree suicidal and battling complex post-traumatic stress disorder, so to be standing on that stage felt surreal. It felt almost as if I had woken up from a bad dream, filled with a sense of relief, while the pain of the past, Sarah, still continues to fill my eyes with warm tears on this day, even as I write this. I hope that one day I do stop crying for her though, but for now I guess she still needs me to and I am more than ok with that. Having my children be there with me was not only comforting but also very important to me as a newly found healthy mother, a role model for them. This degree isn't just for me; it's for them too. I wanted them to see that not only is it never too late to pursue your dreams but also to never give up in life no matter how hard things get. I want them to say, “If my mom can do it, so can I,” while facing the challenges life will evidently bring them in the future. With a heavy heart filled with love for them, the four not-so-little chambers of my heart that keep me going, thank you for keeping me on track with my sobriety and my healing. You have been the stars in my darkest nights throughout these last couple of years and I am forever grateful. I promise to never let you climb those hard mountains of life alone; I'll climb them with you, hand in hand, how it should be. You will never face life alone as long as I am still breathing. I promise. 💛🌻⭐️

Even when you get knocked down, keep going… keep flying! 🚀 Aunque te caigas, ¡sigue adelante… sigue volando!

I moved across the country with a suitcase and a gut feeling in 2012 Left Ohio. Left everything I knew. No backup plan. No safety net. Just a chance to build something — and a quiet voice that said, “Go.” And to be honest, I thought it’d pay off fast. Thought I’d land, grind, and blow up. That’s not what happened. Instead I got… Lonely nights. Broke days. Cheap meals and long hours. A whole lot of wondering, “Did I just make the biggest mistake of my life?” But here’s what I know now: Sometimes the risk doesn’t give you the outcome. It gives you the version of you who’s ready for it. I didn’t blow up overnight. But I learned how to bet on myself. I learned how to hold pressure. I learned how to keep going when no one was watching. That was the reward. And it was worth it. So if you’re in the middle of a risk right now… If you’re second-guessing everything because the payoff hasn’t shown up yet — don’t bail too early. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just becoming who you need to be. And that’s the part no one sees But it’s the part that changes everything. The risk didn’t pay off the way I thought it would. It paid off in who I became.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. You may not like this, but attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company. It will cause a business to soar or sink. It will be the difference in a happy home or a home of horror. It’s attitude. And the remarkable thing is you have a choice every day regarding the attitude you will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the tick of the clock. We cannot change that march toward death. We cannot change the fact that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

Anything is Possible

Oorleef Ek is grootgemaak om aan te beweeg, ek is grootgemaak om elke oggend wakker te word en weer te probeer, selfs wanneer my hart gebroke is. Ek is geleer om aan te hou loop, selfs wanneer ek net wil wegkruip. Ek is geleer om te doen wat reg is totdat dit 'n werklikheid word. Ek het geleer om te glimlag, selfs wanneer my hart hartseer is. Om te praat wanneer al die woorde nutteloos lyk. Om my eie wonde in stilte te heg. Om in te stort maar te glo dit is net vir 'n rukkie. Om oor my littekens te stap selfs al het dit seer gemaak. Om my eie pyn te bevriend totdat dit verdwyn. Die lewe het my geleer dat jy geen opsie het nie, behalwe om te oorleef.

In this highly competitive society, everyone hopes to succeed. However, success does not come from talent or luck, but from personal efforts and hard work.

Life was never designed to be easy. As a man, it is supposed to be a life of hardship, tests, struggle and duty. Happiness is derived from passing each test and the confidence built after overcoming each challenge. Enjoy the struggle and prepare for the next one coming.🎊✨ #HappyNewYear #2025Ready #Alhamdulillah

No more dwelling on setbacks or expecting the world to pay us back for our disappointments. #2025resolutions

El mundo está en las manos de aquellos que tienen el coraje de soñar y correr el riesgo de vivir sus sueños.
