Focused Individual, LUV Youniversity /

But when I finally stop deflecting and face myself with courage, I discover an unexpected strength. It’s in those moments of self-awareness that I find greater clarity, creativity, and peace, fueling my leadership and business growth.

Deflection often arises from a fear of facing uncomfortable situations, such as feelings of shame, embarrassment, or failure. As a pro wrestler, I’ve found myself avoiding confrontations, especially after a performance where things didn’t go as planned.

This shift in mindset helped me overcome my fear and move forward with confidence. The next time you feel the urge to deflect, take a moment to confront the discomfort, prepare for what could go wrong, and move forward with a solid plan.

The Art of “I AM” Harnessing the Power of Affirmation for Identity

Leave a Comment / Family /

The words “I AM” carry immense power, shaping how we define ourselves and how the world perceives us. When we say “I am angry” or “I am sad,” we’re not merely describing feelings; we’re affirming who we are in that moment. These words can either empower us or limit us, shaping our identity based on what we choose to claim. Our identities are often formed in childhood by the words and actions of those around us, absorbing lessons and values from family and culture. But as we grow, we gain the ability to reshape who we are by what we choose to affirm about ourselves. For those of us with mixed heritage, this process of self-definition is even more complex, as we navigate a world that often wants to label us, but we ultimately decide who we are. Through exploration, learning, and experience, we can embrace our multifaceted selves. It’s through the simple yet profound declaration of “I am” that we can authentically express our true identity, embracing all the worlds that make us whole.
