This is my friend @LilMistyDiaz, who is a force of light that has grown out of darkness. This darkness began with being born with #SpinaBifida (birth defect affecting the spinal cord). Followed by 28 operations by middle school (not including exploratory surgeries) and compounded by medications, isolation, depression, loneliness, and 3 suicide attempts. But like a #lotus flower, she rose from the dust to bloom out of the darkness. Through the power of #gratitude and #service, Misty’s ability has grown stronger than her disability. It has been a process. One in which her only goal was to simply feel better.  This process has grown into her ability to complete over 200 races including obstacle races, half-marathons, 5-10-15k runs, 24 hour, #Spartan & #RedBull races. She even holds state records in the bench press. It has been said that it’s not your disability that defines you.  It’s your ability.  Strength is a choice.  The only disability in life is a bad attitude, and #LilMistyDiaz has decided to live her life of #service by helping as many people as she can.  She has inspired people all over the world, from all walks of life, including myself. And I’m proud and lucky to be able to call her my friend. . 🌷 💀 ⏳ 𝘎𝘙𝘐𝘛 | 𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘌𝘙 | 𝘎𝘙𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘛𝘜𝘋𝘌 | 𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘝𝘐𝘊𝘌 _______________________________________________ #TheSisuWay #healthiswealth #vulnerabilityisstrength #strengthisachoice #getupstrong #beunconquerable #mindfulwarrior #unconquerablesoul #lilmisty #spinabeautiful #adaptiveathlete #strongaf #mentalstrength #turtlepower #unicornstrength #tbt Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our Freedom and Power to Choose our response. In those choices lie our Growth and our Happiness. - Stephen R. Covey’s lesson. . 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚. So is deceit, bitterness, remaining misunderstood without taking action to explain, love, hating, not communicating, blame, jealousy, honesty, not stifling a generous impulse, etc. That space and what we choose to do with it is important. Your actions matter. Being mean is easy, but that says more about you than anyone else. Like my friend Kenny Kane likes to say: Are your actions contributing to the joy of the world or the misery? . 🌷 💀 ⏳ 𝘎𝘙𝘐𝘛 | 𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘌𝘙 | 𝘎𝘙𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘛𝘜𝘋𝘌 | 𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘝𝘐𝘊𝘌 _______________________________________________ #TheSisuWay #healthiswealth #vulnerabilityisstrength #strengthisachoice #getupstrong #beunconquerable #mindfulwarrior #unconquerablesoul #sisu #freedomofchoice #willpower #viktorfrankl #manssearchformeaning #growthmindset #choosestrength #beanicehuman #happinessisachoice @thesisuway School is starting! This brings some challenges like getting back into a routine, volunteering, homework, lunches, etc. This is for all the hardworking folks out who are raising kids and want a chuckle! School fundraising is hard and vital and the people that run them are unsung heroes, but this is just refreshing! Haha. 🤣 ________________________________________ #backtoschool #fundraising #pto #pta #alternativefundraising #parenthood #raisingkids #givemore #honesty #thesisuway #schoolparents #kidsrule Courage is not the absence of fear. Fear is a natural reaction. It’s okay to be scared. That means you are about so do something brave. Doesn’t mean you give into it. Courage is a decision that something else is more important than fear. It’s those moments where heroes are made. There is a courageous hero inside all of us, some just answer the call and decide to move forward when others are going back. Feeling fear and choosing to triumph over it is the stuff of heroes. Much love to all of you answering the call of service. . 🌷 💀 ⏳ 𝘎𝘙𝘐𝘛 | 𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘌𝘙 | 𝘎𝘙𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘛𝘜𝘋𝘌 | 𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘝𝘐𝘊𝘌 _______________________________________________ #TheSisuWay #healthiswealth #vulnerabilityisstrength #strengthisachoice #getupstrong #beunconquerable #mindfulwarrior #unconquerablesoul #servicetoothers #firstresponders #courageisadecision I often wonder what moments my kids will remember when they are older, if they way they feel is more impactful than the actual activity, if my lecture is less important than my example (it is), and how fast my big little guy can get up from being buried by sand! One thing I don’t wonder is if they know their Dad loves them! They are my greatest gift. I get to be a kid again with them! . 🌷 💀 ⏳ 𝘎𝘙𝘐𝘛 | 𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘌𝘙 | 𝘎𝘙𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘛𝘜𝘋𝘌 | 𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘝𝘐𝘊𝘌 _______________________________________________ #TheSisuWay #healthiswealth #vulnerabilityisstrength #strengthisachoice #getupstrong #beunconquerable #mindfulwarrior #unconquerablesoul #fatherhood #play #dontgrowupitsatrap #betheexample When asked what is the single most powerful contributing factor to one’s health and vitality, integrative medical doctor Oscar Serrallach answered without hesitation: Having a sense of purpose. Some believe that the path to contentment lies in finding your ikigai. What is Ikigai you say? Well besides the illustration of the special intersection above, Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." Everyone’s is different. It is my encouragement to hope you do what you can to find yours. And then do that really really well. We need you. . 🌷 💀 ⏳ 𝘎𝘙𝘐𝘛 | 𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘌𝘙 | 𝘎𝘙𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘛𝘜𝘋𝘌 | 𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘝𝘐𝘊𝘌 _______________________________________________ #TheSisuWay #healthiswealth #vulnerabilityisstrength #strengthisachoice #getupstrong #beunconquerable #mindfulwarrior #unconquerablesoul #ikigai #dowhatyoulove #gorightbook #senseofpurpose #beuseful #temetnosce #growthmindset #startwithwhy
