🫂👨👩👧👦❤️ Your Scars Are Proof of Your Strength, Not Your Limits.
Ever felt like you were trying to climb a mountain, but the people around you kept pointing out how tired you look?
Now, imagine climbing that mountain with the extra weight of a disability or a lifelong injury. The whispers from the sidelines can get louder. The judgment isn’t just about your ambition to build a business or transform your health—it’s tangled up in their perception of your limitations. They mean well, but their doubt can feel heavier than any physical challenge.
It’s in those moments that this quote from Paige Hathaway becomes a lifeline:
“PEOPLE MIGHT JUDGE YOU & MAY TRY TO BELITTLE YOUR AMBITION. KEEP COMPANY ONLY WITH PEOPLE WHO UPLIFT YOU.”
Your circle is everything. It’s the difference between hearing “Be realistic” and “I believe in you.” It’s about finding those who see your daily fight and are inspired by your resilience, not intimidated by your dreams. They are the ones who celebrate a small step forward in your health journey as the massive victory it is. They are the ones who see your drive to create a better life for your family and ask, “How can I help?”
These people don’t try to “fix” you; they rise with you.
Let’s be that circle for each other. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood on your journey, this is your space. Drop a ‘RISE’ in the comments below 👇 if you’re committed to uplifting others as they pursue their health and life goals. Let’s build a community that champions ambition, understands the struggle, and celebrates every single win.
