featured story from our self L1t family
I wasn’t sure what I was waking up every day for. After my grandfather had passed away and my world had been completely flipped on its axis, due to other unforeseen circumstances, I found myself struggling to stay motivated in the gym, on the ice with my hockey team, in classes, and living day-to-day. I would show up only because I knew that if I didn’t, I would truly have nothing. I was petrified to confront all of the emotions, choosing to avoid them because once I let them in, I knew that they would overwhelm me. During this period of my life where I was alone and at the lowest possible point that I ever thought I could reach, I constantly wondered, what were all of the sacrifices that I had to make to get myself to that point in my life? I thought, “Why do I even bother showing up if nothing is going to make anything better?”
If someone asked me now how I got through each day, before SELF L1T and the inspiring and uplifting community that it fosters, my answer would pertain to the words of the SELF L1T Pledge: I can definitely assure you that I was not making choices that would assist in moving me positively towards my true vision and goals. In fact, I was on cruise-control, simply going through the motions. SELF L1T has ignited an internal flame within me that encourages me to be better and has influenced me to make others better around me.SELF L1T doesn’t expect you to be perfect by any means, but it is a commitment to actively trying to do better and to be conscientious about the decisions you are making in order to fulfill future aspirations and achieve long-term goals.
When I think about how far I have come, to where I am now, I feel secure, mentally-tough, and passionately dedicated to not only working towards my goals, but also encouraging others to join myself and the SELF L1T family along life’s unpredictable yet exceptional journey. But, I remind myself that it all began with winning the mental battles. Truly, U Vs. U 4 You! Every morning when we wake up and every night before we go to sleep, we all have to be proud of ourselves when we look in the mirror and if we aren’t, something has to change. It all starts with buying into SELF L1T ’s mission and vision and being unafraid to tackle life’s challenges head-on, knowing that you have an army of support behind you at any given moment. This is what SELF L1T has inflamed in me.
