“Once upon a time you weren’t afraid to reach for the stars. Be that way again.”⁣

I always say I’m a kid a heart.⁣

To me it was because I’m silly, but now it’s a different meaning for me.⁣

Kids are fearless and relentless in their pursuit of their mission.⁣

I used to watch my brother climb out of his crib and he did care if he fell, his mission was to get out the crib.⁣

I think we get to rapped up on being adults we lose sight of that little kids in us that was fearless and dreamed big.⁣

My cousin Olivia may not know but she helped me find that kid within myself.⁣

Thanks to her, I have found that inner child again and have regained that fearless pursuit of my dreams.⁣

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Life itself!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On this day 2 years ago I woke up not expecting that I would literally be in a fight for my life. I had no idea that I would face the toughest adversity of my life to date.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I had a Stroke at the age of 29.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This was something I had to endure to become the person I am today. Even though there was a 26% chance of survival look who is still here almost fully recovered (I say almost because I have high standards). It wasn’t easy but it was worth it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is not a sad day for me but rather I am proud of myself.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I fought to live and defied all diagnosis that were thrown at me and here I am almost fully recovery just 2 years out.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I didn’t complain I just rose to the occasion to live no matter how tired or frustrated I was.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I worked diligently to get back to where I am. I can say a lot of good happened since this unfortunate event.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The fight is not over and won’t be until I deem myself 100%. Even then it’s not over as I have a mission to educate and inspire others to hopefully prevent the lack of education around strokes. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So today it’s only fitting that I make a return to the court as I continue to process what happened to me, how I recovered, and where I’m headed.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m proud of myself. ⁣⁣

“Never fear to deliberately walk through dark places, for that is how you reach the light on the other side.”⁣

Back to the basics⁣

Building a stronger foundation this time around ⁣

It's better to walk alone, than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.⁣

“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.“⁣

This recovery process is journey of hard work daily⁣

I’d be lying if I said I don’t get tired⁣

I started out this week tired from all the previous hard work⁣

My therapist couldn’t tell though⁣

Learning to balance your daily tasks while adding a physical and mental recovery routine⁣

It can be tiring, maybe even exhausting, but it’s worth it ⁣

During recovery the calls may stop, the texts may stop, the visit may stop. However the work is constant⁣

It may be tiring but keep pushing you’ve got this. I tell myself this everyday and go out and get the work done ⁣

“At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.”⁣

There was a point in time during recovery that I never wanted to see a basketball ⁣

I didn’t care care to see, touch, or play basketball⁣

The anxiety would kick in and make me think I could never get to form again⁣

It made me think I was a shell of myself ⁣

Once I flipped a switch to love myself fully I was able to embrace the learning curve that lied ahead of me⁣

I overcame that fear and anxiety and picked up a basketball ⁣

I don’t accomplish every goal every day but I give my best efforts⁣

I take it day by day and I can love myself because no matter what I know I did my best that day and carry that momentum into tomorrow.⁣

“Just because a person smiles all the time doesn’t mean their life is perfect. That smile is a symbol of hope and strength.”⁣

I’ve learned life is too short to be negative. Everyday I open my eyes I smile.⁣

Life is the biggest blessing.⁣

I am happy that I get to face new obstacles and experience new things in life.⁣

I experience the full range of emotions but I choose to smile and give 100% everyday.⁣

Not smiling or not being positive takes more energy. That’s just my thought on it. ⁣

I smile to show you can still be happy despite facing adversity.⁣

I smile because a simple smile may brighten someone’s day.⁣

I smile because it may give someone else hope.⁣

I smile because of my family.⁣

I smile because I’m blessed. ⁣

I smile because of my growth and strength.⁣

I smile because of my recovery.⁣

I smile because I’m alive.⁣

“When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on.”⁣

Having a brainstem stroke was the most adversity I’ve faced to date.⁣

I never panicked or got negative.⁣

It took some time but I accepted what was and what is.⁣

I stay calm, grounded, and balanced because it could have been worse or even be worse.⁣

So I am thankful for where I am.⁣

You can bet on it that I will press on so that I can mold how things will be.⁣

Trust me this journey is hard and tiring but it will be all worth it in the end. ⁣

So I read somewhere that statically (I don’t know the accuracy of the percentages):⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
10% of stroke survivors make a full recovery. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
25% recover with minor impairments.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
40% recover with moderate to severe impairments that require special care. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I like defying the odds and my chances to make a full recovery.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
A lot of you might say, “aren’t you fully recovered?” That answer is no, by my standards.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’ve always raised the bar for myself. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Exposure brings elevation. I’ve exposed myself to higher goals and surroundings to elevate myself and my family.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Spiritually, Mentally, and the physical followed.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
My goals are different:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Be an obedient listener⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Know God wholeheartedly with a willing mind⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Be present and provide for my family⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Travel with those closest to me⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Enjoy moments⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Be in the 1% financially ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Be in the 10% recovery wise⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Build my brand ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Be a light for others⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Believe in yourself, push your limits, experience life, conquer your goals and be happy. - Joel Brown⁣

Story time⁣

As well as you guys see me do. Today I didn’t feel as confident as normal.⁣

So I decided to walk 30 minutes with my wife to have dinner with family.⁣

5 minutes in my leg started to hyperextend and I started to panic that I wouldn’t make it.⁣

I took a few deep breaths and shifted my mind to believe I could do it.⁣

30 minutes later we made it to our destination on foot.⁣

Once I believed in myself the hyper extension stopped and we just strolled taking in the sights. ⁣

I conquered the goal despite doubting myself at first. I did have to push the limits but I did it.⁣

Small Win. ⁣

The goal is not to find my former self it is to be better than before.⁣
