Grow Stronger:
Learn your weakness. Fight with your power and grow your strength. Body, mind and spirit.
Push yourself harder than you have ever done before, for you need results you never thought you were able to achieve.
Get Smarter:
Know what you do, whatever you want to do, and be honest in what you can do. Prepare yourself for a better version of you and you will improve your future.
Become Wiser:
See more. Hear more. Feel more. Talk more. Laugh more. Love more. Share more. Realize more. Be wiser with all you’ve come to know.
Feel Better:
Not everything you feel is real. Choose what you want and how you want it. Feel that. Let the rest go. Embrace yourself, your inner self. Don’t let doubts decide your path.
Share:
Tell your story. Share your ideas. Become an inspiration and let inspiration feed you. Open your heart and your heart will fill and spill.
Be Genuine:
Be real. Be honest. Always tell the truth or don’t speak at all. Let painful words slide for they have to be said to solve the pain. Don’t fear , your truth is free.
Be You:
You are enough. In the most simple form, you are life. Reach out and something will reach in. If not, learn from the silence. You don’t need healing. You need you.
Be of Value:
Don’t try to find or to force value. You can’t be “successful” for that is only the outer shell. Be of value and create it from within.
Be Grateful:
You do nothing alone. Give and receive. Share and win. Or keep and lose. Thank everything and everybody that participates. In good or in bad, without these lessons you couldn’t be who you are today.
Be Disciplined:
Get up. Repeat. Get up. Get it done. Get it out of the way. Get it over with and feel that sense of achievement. That is the rush of success. Feel how value increases every time you succeed.
With all this, create a home. Your place to be safe, to retreat, to reload. Create where you can create and you can live without having to survive.
After a life altering accident that was supposed to leave me paralyzed, I found a new purpose in life. I quickly realized that if I wanted to walk again, I had to change my mindset as it relates to my emotional health and my self-expression.
Sitting in a wheelchair I had plenty of time to contemplate life and that’s when I desired to earn a spot on a TEDx stage. After four years of hard work I accomplished that dream in 2016 and I realized I had more to give to the world than working 4 years for 15 minutes of fame.
I had created a project in the previous years, 2nd Life Curaçao, to get me from a disability check (welfare) to become a small business owner. It even won me the JCI IOBA Aspiring Creative Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2015 and as my cycle from wheelchair to social entrepreneur completed, I understood that the message I was taught, wasn’t mine to keep.
I started coaching people that were dealing with life’s difficulties and still felt I was playing small. It is easy listening to someone for me and give them advice on how to solve it, but I wanted to go deeper into the human programming and really understand why we feel sad, angry or jealous. This led me to meditation, mindfulness, yoga and alter my mindset completely. What I realized in this journey that everything I learned I already had in me. I just didn’t know…
It became my calling to plant as many seeds in as many people as possible and teach them that they are powerful beyond means. As I spoke in more classrooms and at large corporations, I would get personal questions and I understood that the message starts within us. People want to know their why. Their how. And their what. I decided to write those answers in daily quotes on Instagram and Facebook, but soon wanted them to become physical. We are touching our phones enough and how can I coach people without being there?
By creating recycled paper postcards and organic fair trade cotton t-shirt with quotes that came straight from my coaching and public speaking business.
If I can re-learn to walk, that means I can relearn how to think and now it my turn to help as many people as possible starting with you.
