VSSL Voyager- Jillian Brown

Nothing is placed in front of you that you don’t have the strength to overcome; it’s just shifting your mindset to believing in one’s self enough. I started telling myself this while in an abusive relationship, and being thankful I knew I had that strength and that it was me there instead of someone who didn’t; cause they may not have made it out. Hearing PTSD, caused confusion and pain and yet, when I shifted into believing I could use this to empower me rather than withdrawing me, It opened me up to share, heal and inspire. It has allowed me to say yes (#sayyesmore ) to opportunities and challenges without fear or hesitation. If we each believe we can overcome, whatever that obstacle may be, as simple as getting up and still going, leaving the house without makeup on, or pushing to reach the next unclimbed summit, within all the negative pressures society and we put on ourselves, that right there is extraordinary and we each deserve to be proud of ourselves for those moments.
