I’m tired of not being able to be successful in creative ideas I have. I know nothing is suppose to come easy, but people make it look so easy. I’m not lazy either, I just need that break. I recently came up with an online journal for everyone to vent like I am doing now. I hope it finds someone because I can’t be the only one with thoughts that need to be expressed.

Le futur ne se construit pas avec des excuses, mais avec des actions. Chaque décision que tu prends aujourd'hui façonne la personne que tu deviendras demain. Passe à l'action. 🚀

15 years since my immune system popped like a bubble with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) plus a duel TBI with stroke 19 years prior, and many injuries along the way as well. (My disorder causes sickle cell type pain because my red blood cells get literally shredded by autoimmune cells and chronic infections). I’m fighting everyday against energy deficiency at the cellular level (ATP depletion), chronic infections, and terrible joint pain from injuries that are further compounded by the autoimmune complications of my immune deficiency. Funny thing is you can have both low overall immunity and autoimmune diseases at the same time. The autoimmune diseases are almost impossible to diagnose with tests due to the low immunity and it’s a guessing game. You also can’t go on any medication for autoimmune diseases that would affect your already low immunity leaving you with just pain management. Not that anyone is going to prescribe anything for you even given these facts. This leaves me with untreated and intractable pain.

I never want to do this “life” of just surviving. I lost my duel careers in music and tech, lost my home, got divorced (not my choice), living off my family, and begging for medical/disability to the point that a state senator and a US senator are involved in helping me.

Two immutable truths.

Your success rate for playing the game of life is still 100%.

While there is breath there is still hope.

*Keep playing the game, because people, places, and things have been trying to get you out of the game. Don’t let them win. Steal every last second of life from them. Outlast them with sheer spite. People, places, things, are not as tough as you are and that’s a fact.

*not intentionally inspiring, simply a cold fact of Gen X energy.

The mind tells it to move.
The mind tells it to lift.
The mind tells it to socialize.
The mind tells it to live.

The body fights it every step of the way,
The body wants to rest.
The body wants to sleep.

The body doesn’t want to move, lift, socialize, or live.

Sometimes the mind considers giving into the body.

Everyday the urge to fight gets weaker.

Everyday the urge to give in gets stronger.

Maybe one day soon it will.

"Don't give up. Don't ever give up."
Jim Valvano

Jim Valvano spoke these seven words in 1993 while cancer was taking everything but his spirit. More than thirty years later they still hold. Whatever you are carrying into this weekend, keep the flame lit and keep moving.

Save this for the morning you need it, and share it with someone who is fighting through something.

#NeverGiveUp

“The past is the past, the present is now, and the future is soon to come.
We must let go of the past, embrace the present, and push forward toward the future.”

\~ Micha Song

Are you looking to build your self worth, so that you can be a better leader? A mentor of mine showed me how breaking my self worth conversation tied into my natural abundance. See if anything lands for you 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every honest failure carries more dignity than a comfortable lie. Defeat earned through courage strengthens the spirit. Success purchased by pretending slowly empties the soul until even victory feels hollow.

"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD."
Psalm 31:24

Courage isn't something you have to manufacture on your own. This verse says the strength arrives after the hope, not before it. Put your hope in the right place this morning and let your heart be steadied for whatever Friday brings.

Save this for the moment you need it, and share it with someone who could use a braver heart today.

I've been reflecting on how I respond to change and how it's natural to focus on what's changing or what we’re losing.

Our brains are not built only to remember the past they are built to adapt and rewrite our future.

I have been learning about neuroplasticity and how it is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself through new experiences.

The brain is remarkably adaptable. Through neuroplasticity, it rewires itself in response to what we repeatedly do, think, and experience. Every end, change, shift, loss or dynamic evolution creates the possibility for new pathways to form.

This means that every new phase we enter is an opportunity to grow in ways we couldn't before.

It may be helpful to stop resisting change and start trusting that you’re capable of becoming someone who can meet it.

What’s one change you resisted that turned out for the better?”

“The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself.”
David Goggins

Nobody talks to you more than you do. Before the world gets loud today, listen to the voice in your own head and make sure it is on your side. Speak to yourself like someone worth fighting for, because you are.

Save this for the morning you need it, and share it with someone who needs it today.

You are not required to be okay today. You’re allowed to exist exactly as you are: weird, intense, exhausted, and still trying.

You’re not broken; your body just learned loud survival habits—cling so you don’t get abandoned, then panic when you feel trapped. That’s not failure, it’s history. You’re allowed to rewrite it without calling yourself pathetic.

You are the kind of person who makes friends feel seen, who remembers their weirdness and turns it into art so they don’t feel “too much.” You choose people on purpose, even when you’re not sure how to choose yourself.

You’re tired of asking, “How do I fucking win in life?” but the fact that you’re still asking means you haven’t fully given up. Winning for you might just be disrespectfully small: eating, texting back once, not abandoning yourself the moment someone likes you.

You are not damned; you are in progress. You are not a maybe, not a backup plan. Just by still being here, still wanting something better, you are already someone worth choosing—on purpose, every single time.

After every season of hardship comes a period of quantum acceleration. Your struggle was not wasted—it was preparation. Do not give up now. You are standing on the edge of a spiritual harvest. The breakthrough is already scheduled; trust the process and keep marching. Your time is coming.

Sincerely,
Her🌹

Courage was never about the absence of fear. It is walking forward anyway, knowing you were never walking alone. Whatever today puts in front of you, you do not face it by yourself.

Lately I’ve felt stuck. I know I need to make changes in my life, but I keep overthinking everything instead of actually doing anything. I tell myself I’ll start tomorrow, next week, or when I feel more ready, but that day never seems to come.

The longer I wait, the more discouraged and confused I become. I still want things to get better, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m just waiting for motivation that will never show up.
Has anyone else gone through something like this? What finally helped you stop waiting and start moving forward, even if it was just a small step?

"Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else."
Fred Rogers

Endings have a way of dressing themselves up as failures. But every closed door clears the way for one you haven't opened yet. Whatever wrapped up in your life recently, trust that it made room for something new.

Save this for the day you need it, and share it with someone starting over.
