Sounds contradictory, doesn't it? At first glance, it might seem like I'm suggesting you let your trauma envelop you and weigh you down. On the contrary, what I mean is that if you have trauma—any kind of trauma—it becomes a part of you for life. Instead of letting it keep you crawling on the floor and crying, let it lift you and strengthen your soul. Let it make you stronger for having endured what you have. Don’t let your trauma define you; instead, define what your trauma means to you.
I've been through a lot in my life. If you've read my autobiography or seen me speak, you know my story. People often tell me it's amazing that I'm not a puddle on the floor, melting into an ocean of tears. The reason for that is because I've gone through everything I share with you here. I taught myself how to overcome my tragedies and come out stronger on the other side. I refuse to let my past dictate the way I live my life today. I let my traumas become the stepping stones I use to climb the mountain of courage and rise to the top.
I will forever be the face of my trauma. It's the face I choose to show that makes the difference. I don't regret a single thing in my life because every difficult experience has shaped who I am today. Today, I am a strong, resilient, independent woman who can walk through the eye of the storm and come out the other side battered and bruised, but with a smile on my face.
Through my blog, we will explore the journey I undertook to achieve the fulfilling life I live today. I don't equate success with happiness; you can find happiness at any stage of your life. Instead of letting success define you, learn to let your emotions and heart shape your identity. Do you want to be known as an angry, depressed, and weak individual, or as a happy, strong, and compassionate person? The personality you project is how people will see you. Who do you want to be?
Tell me what you would like to see me write about. I love suggestions, so give me a topic. I will attempt to make each post as informative and educational as I can. I want to teach you to be fearless. To take life by the balls and dominate every aspect of it.
Love your trauma, love yourself. I hope that it makes a little bit more sense than it did when we began. Sign up for my mentorship or my courses and we can grow together.
