The Friday Feature w/ Sean: 100: 👉 Keep Pushing Forward – Ditch The Past
Trauma is real. It impacts our thoughts, our beliefs, and our actions. Mental health is a serious issue. Welcome to The Friday Feature.
As a young grade school student growing up in a trailer park, older boys forced me to do things that were appalling. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. In high school, I stopped playing football because I didn’t want to be in the locker room with the boys. I started working and found my way out. Now, nearly 50 years later, I share my story as it relates to safety and bullying and to let people know it is okay to ditch the past and push forward in a positive way. During these events, people come up to me. Without saying a word, I can see it in their eyes. They just need encouragement to push forward. It isn’t easy. We may never forget what haunts us, but we can use our experience to help others who may be struggling with similar issues.
Here’s the point. This is week 100 of The Friday Feature. The Friday Feature was started to give hope to others. I firmly believe if you invest in others you are investing in yourself. It’s important that we help each other – especially children – deal with mental junk. If you have something that haunts you, find someone to help you. Your mental health matters because you matter to others. Keep pushing forward.
