Lifting Each Other Up
After being torn down and told by multiple people that she wasn’t good enough to succeed, Mila DeChant decided to flip the narrative and reclaim her own identity.
Taking back her voice from the people who tried to keep her down, she realized the importance of having support and wants to preach to others that lifting each other up is a meaningful and worthwhile feeling that doesn’t cost a thing. Knowing what it’s like to face adversity without an ally, DeChant encourages others to focus on life with an extended lens and consider what other people are going through, because often times everyone is experiencing something important that can resonate with someone else.
Going through life with the mindset that whoever crosses your path can impact your character in some way or another, she wants to show everyone that there is no reason to “dim anyone’s light” nor have your own light dimmed, and that even the smallest act of kindness can lift someone up.
Today Is My January 1st
Resolutions are meant to be maintained and pursued, not ditched after a couple of weeks.
They’re often made because we want a fresh start, which is why entrepreneur Che Brown declares that any day can be your January 1 st , and you can change the path of your life with the implementation of just one good idea.
By realizing that you are not alone, you have support, and that you are a fighter, you can be happy no matter what. After facing multiple setbacks, Che Brown had reached a very low point in his life.
While filing for bankruptcy, he realized something that steered him towards picking himself back up: he was not alone.
Many others were facing the same problems he was, and that was enough to know there was a possibility for change. With the mindset that “a setback is a setup for a comeback,” he decided that he would make today his January 1 st and get a do-over in life.
Following that idea has helped him rise up from his low point, and he encourages everyone to realize that thoughts can be changed, and that ideas can be manifested.
All you need is to have what he calls the “never-again moment,” in which you decide that you want a change, a rebirth, and that today will be your January 1 st .
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
On Identity: You're more than your past circumstances
