If there is one thing I am learning about life it is that you are your largest cheerleader and your biggest naysayer.

The most important voice that will ever matter will be yours.

It is hard to know this because when all those voices come that remind you, you are not enough. You have to remember to light your own light and know they are not there to stop you, but they are simply just a reflection of your inner insecurities that you have to overcome. These triggers or people are not bad people either, they are just hurting people hurting people as the cycle goes.

Secondly we have to understand that we are also hurting people, and the more we use the power to observe, rather than assume or judge the more we connect rather than disconnect. Or create conversations that help us to learn and grow.

We often call out all the people that shame and judge us but forget to look honestly at ourselves and how we do the same. Our true responsibility in life is how we respond to everything.

If we want to hold the power in life we also have to be willing to let go of what does not serve us. Not because it or they are not worthy but because simply the world needs more people coming alive.

Letting go and forgiving is key to being able to make our lights bright. These are not there to say it is okay what others or the world do or did. But they are there so we can keep our lights shining and we do not become part of the cycle where all our lights get smaller and we complain about how this world and our lives are this and that.

To change this world we need to be the change and that means starting with the person in the mirror.

What positive thing can you tell yourself today?

What lesson have you learned that has helped you overcome that you can share to inspire another?

What are you grateful for today???

We often forget this breath right now someone else is losing, our arms and legs that may be too red, or marked or not the way we want, someone does not have, our face that may not be what we want it to be or the skin we have that may have cellulite, redness, bruising, veins, skin condition, someones is burned or damaged beyond ours. They do not hide but they get up and live and still make the most of what life is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=I60WGzewsh8 A great exampe Tara inspires me beyond words. So often I deal with eczema, rashes and so many other things and it is nothing compared to Tara. She gets up every day and shines her beautiful light and she reminds me to do the same. Even when I feel not enough, or other peoples voices get in my head with their unkind words, when I deal with my own skin or body challenges.

We are in a society that is fixing things that really aren't making our lives any better. We have good lives but continue to find problems no matter how good we have them. It is time for us to start making the most of what we have. We only have one life.

Sure it is nice to look yöung and youthful, it is nice to have a body that we feel more confident in or it is wonderful to know more than we do. But all these things do not determine a positive life and a good life. They are just psychological barriers that society has driven into us to make us feel inferior because of how we view the body and sell things but the truth is we are enough just as we are.

As a kid I nearly drowned several times. I ended up overcoming these fears. I became a state swimmer and national waterpolo player. I have still not learned to surf, however when I get the chance again to be near the beach I want to take lessons. A lady that inspires is. Bethany is a well-known professional surfer who lost an arm in a shocking shark attack at the yöung age of 13. Read more about her in the link above.

I feel overwhelmed with my one arm handstand journey in handstands but I just read about....Jim Abbott became a Major League Baseball star despite being born without his right hand. Citing his disäbility as a motivation to work harder, Abbott finished his baseball career having played for the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees as well as pitching a no-hitter in 1993. Now I am even more inspired to know that only my willingness and mindset are stopping me and I should continue this journey no matter where it finishes.

Personally I often worry about maybe I cannot do things, I am not good enough on so many levels. I've been told many times by people I am ugly, I am not good enough to model, I am not strong or smart enough for X. But the truth is I am and I have both my arms and legs and a fully functioning body.

Last Jan 2023 and last year as a difficult time for me I lost a fair bit of use of my left arm. I am left handed. I could not feel my fingers on my thumb and index and middle finger. I could not undo the drink bottle and lift heavy things. I lost my ability to handstand the press, deep backbends, push up and even the ability to sleep for a few months due to the pain. 1.5 years later I have recovered most of my skills but still working on some other small details and rehab. The injury occured just by turning my neck . Overuse of my shoulders and other areas caused compression of the Brachial nerves in my neck. I still have nerve issues from the Thoracic outlet syndrome I am learning to manage. But reading a story like this below, reminds me that the only limitation is the one we put on ourselves.

Alana Nichols is a three-time Paralympic gold medal winner who has taken part in three separate sports in the Paralympic games.

When she was 17 years old, Alana suffered a devastating spinal cord injury in a snowboarding accident while wintering in Colorado. The accident left her parälyzed from the waist down. Soon after her injury, she discovered a talent for wheelchair basketball, eventually winning a gold medal at the 2008 Paralympics.

After this triumphant win, Nichols returned to her original passion: skiing. One can only imagine the thrill of returning to the sport she was so passionate about. In 2010, she qualified for the Winter Paralympics and won two gold medals, one silver and one bronze. Nichols also competed in the paracanoe, taking her total to three Paralympic sports.

As a person on social media I know I am imperfect. I have enough people telling me daily. I give my heart and soul here. I give free programs, youtube, and instagram content, I study and continue to learn and no matter how I try to help others I am told daily by the world I fall short. It is sometimes hard. These voices often make me feel very inferior and not good enough to be here sharing my story, my art and my life. However I know deep down and by the kind voices I am blessed to hear also, I am worthy just like anyone else. But my aim is different to most. I am not here to pretend I'm someone or be perfect. I just simply want to share so people know they are not alone or they can too. I also want to help others to learn and grow who may not have the resources to access the knowledge I have. I know I do not have to be perfect to make a difference and I want others to know that too. Just helping one person at a time is making a difference. It is not a numbers game. It is a heart and soul and ripple effect game. I hope we all remember this more.

So if you are struggling remember firstly it's human and you are not alone. Secondly it's okay to struggle but it is not there to stop you only to inspire you to become. Read the link above. These are only a few people but there are so many inspiring people breaking down. It's possible one step at a time overcoming the odds to become who they want to be.

You can as well, believe and achieve.
