There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one’s maximum potential must be built on bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity
Ever since my childhood, I have always admired individuals, like Wilma Rudolph in the picture above, who were able to overcome daunting odds to become successful in life. Because of their diverse backgrounds, humble beginnings and daunting circumstances, I am enchanted by their personal stories that provide me and other readers, listeners and viewers of various platforms the evidence that there is nothing impossible with faith in God and faith in the strength of your human spirit.
Although both of my parents had transitioned by the time I was 19, the most powerful gift they gave me was the strength to model a bulldog tenacity towards their challenges while maintaining a sense of personal excellence toward their working class positions. It was easy for me to understand the importance of working hard and smart towards creating better in life. Experiencing their deaths in my teens showed me how unpredictable life can be and why it was so important for me to engage life with gratitude, passion, love, and fearlessness if I expected to live out my potential. This has certainly not always been easy, however, I am sure of this, had I not nurtured these traits over time I would not have been able to press through my life’s difficulties and experience measures of success that would have certainly made my parents proud. Today, as my life’s purpose continues to evolve, it is important to me that I strive to have a significant impact on supporting the individuals and organizations I serve with effective strategies that will enable them to unlock the power of their best self to embody the clarity, courage, and confidence necessary to level up their personal and professional life in meaningful ways.
You can defy the odds against you. Your circumstances do not have the power to define you unless you choose to allow them to. You have the God-given authority to define who you are and the person you become. You are much smarter and stronger than you give yourself credit. You can be the hero of your personal story. To be the hero of your life’s story, you will have to do the work necessary to nurture healthy and empowering spiritual, mental and emotional states. Your consistency to do so greatly impacts your effectiveness to transform your external circumstances.
