Overcoming Odds

How powerful is your brain? | Dr. Erik Reis DC, DACNB 🎙 Overcoming Odds Podcast 🎙

“Life is filled with opportunities to learn and grow.” A few weeks ago, I came across a short clip featuring Steve Gamlin and Rima Aboulhosen. Having known Steve for years, I decided to check it out. Instantly, I was drawn to his ability to find positivity in challenging situations. Seconds after finishing the clip, I reached out to the host of the podcast, Rima, to compliment her on her work. A few days later, she responded, suggesting we connect. From our very first conversation, I sensed her passion for life, dedication to helping others, and optimistic outlook. We concluded the call by agreeing to collaborate on her podcast. Days later, we recorded the episode. We spoke about building #resilience, the importance of a positive #mindset, and how our past experiences can teach us valuable #lessons. If these themes resonate with you, tune in to our conversation 👇 https://lnkd.in/egiS7zMz

“Who are those people in your life, dead or alive, who have helped you become a better person?” This morning, I came across a LinkedIn post that really got me thinking about the people who have played a significant role in shaping who I am today. The post I saw was by someone sharing the news of their mentor's passing and reflecting on the lessons they had learned from them. It instantly reminded me of the individuals, dead and alive, who have contributed to who I am today. I thought of my Grandpa who taught me the profound value of words and the impact they can have on others. I thought of my late uncle who taught me the importance of being unapologetically oneself. I thought of my birth mom who taught me a lesson that I'll never forget – the power of forgiveness. I thought of my 6th-grade teacher who taught me how to speak English. I thought of my close friends who continue to teach me the importance of showing up for one another, no matter the circumstances. I thought of my college professors who taught me the importance of taking chances on others. I thought of my dog who continues to remind me on the daily basis to slow down and appreciate the simple joys in life. All of these individuals have contributed to the person I've become. They've shaped my values, beliefs, and outlook on life. And for that, I say, “Thank you!” to every single one of them. 👉 Who are those people in your life, dead or alive, who have helped you become a better person?
