This platform was developed to encourage others to live their dreams and to become as fulfilled as possible. Too many times, we define ourselves by the circumstances in which we live, or the experiences we have had. For example, for many I am a "cancer survivor." More positively, I am a woman who experienced a diagnosis with cancer. It does not define who I am. How I dealt with the disease, and how others respond to the challenges placed before them are more genuine and valid measures of a person's character than a diagnosis or particular incident.
By accepting this theory, we all have an infinite opportunity to continue to grow and become enriched as persons while at the same time enriching the lives of others. If we allow ourselves to be defined by a finite moment in time, such as a particular diagnosis, then we allow ourselves to become stagnant in our growth. It's this difference that takes us from merely living to being truly ALIVE! So I challenge you to go "beyond surviving...THRIVING!" and experience what it's like to be truly ALIVE! |
