Rise & Grind 👑🙌🏾

I’ve had soo many questions regarding will power and dillegence. Like, what does dillegence look like in the eyes of failure?

Is age an obstacle? I mean what does starting your dreams at 65 look like?

What happens when you keep going, after being rejected as soon as you start? Or pushing towards your dreams in spite of thousands of misses and hundreds of failures?

What happens when you finally find success in getting your business started only to go bankrupt? How do you come back from being fired from your dream job, because they said you suck at your passion?

The visual today shows us what diligence looks like those questions. We all have seen the end results of what their diligence looks like. What makes us think ours will look any different? We just have to eliminate the roots of negativity from our lives, and we can accomplish our dreams just the same.

I have one personal act of diligence Id like to share. So my son was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. The doctors told us what we should and shouldn’t expect from him. How his future would be different from neorotypical individuals. I remember leaving his office and feeling defeated. I felt I was losing as parent without even starting.

So to help him, as well as myself, overcome this obstacle in his life, this hand life delt him. I started to learn about mindfulness and incorporating it in our home. & My wife supported me because it was something positive, even though it wasn’t her thing. So that’s where our journey began.

Meditation is a part of practicing mindfulness. So to help calm the mind and align the energy I thought this would be great to incorporate in his routine. Because structure brings him comfort.
I ended up learning earlier on that I need to find different ways for him to meditate. Sitting still was a challenge and it wasn’t just because of his age. Those on the spectrum can also have ADHD symptoms. So I started shower and sleep meditations for him. Where we play guided meditation video/audios from YouTube during those times.

So last night as I was saying goodnight and he was finding a video to watch he asked me if I thought any of this really worked. So I asked “hmm do you?” He said he didn’t know, he is sleep when it’s on and he only plays it because I said so lol. That’s his truth so I accept it, I explained for me it has. Then I reminded him of how far he’s come in the last 8 years since his diagnosis. All the challenges he’s overcome, and how proud I am for him not giving up. Even if he is getting a little help from us in not giving up (I refuse to let him take on all of this alone)

Things that doctor said we shouldn’t expect from him as an adult, we are seeing him do as a child. I realize I did not let that doctor define his story for him or mine as a parent. It has NOT been easy and it probably never will be. But we will be consistent and diligent in our support of seeing him thru each obstacle of his journey. As each year passes and I see him continue overcome the odds against him. I witness the fruits of our labor.

Stay diligent. Do not let anyone define your story, not even your own “failures”. 💚✨🙏🏾
