In this episode of Flourish or Fold, I am positively delighted to host Quinton Aaron, star of the Academy Award winning film "The Blind Side." Quinton joins me to discuss his life experiences, including his health challenges and personal struggles. He emphasizes the importance of resilience, self-love, and leading with love and also shares his belief in a higher power and the importance of taking control of one's destiny. 

Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:

Moving Forward, Not Dwelling on the Past

Quinton emphasized the importance of moving forward and not dwelling on the past. He acknowledged that mistakes are inevitable, but it's crucial not to let these setbacks break us. Instead, we should view them as stepping stones towards a better future.

Quinton and "The Blind Side"

Our conversation naturally veered towards Quinton's role in "The Blind Side." Many people have misconceptions about his life being similar to the character he portrayed. He clarified that while they may look similar, their upbringings were different. He grew up with a loving mother, while the character he played was raised in the foster system. However, both Quinton and his character shared a dream of achieving greatness and worked hard to make it a reality.

Resilience and Overcoming Challenges

When asked about a significant challenge that has shaped him into the person he is today, Quinton reflected on his health issues, including a heart condition and diabetes. He sees these challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, and he strives to use his experiences to help others going through similar struggles.

Quinton's Faith and Beliefs

Quinton shared a series of remarkable experiences that have shaped his beliefs and strengthened his faith. He recounted a moment when he and his friends were dining at a restaurant and noticed a storm approaching. As they watched in awe, the storm suddenly dissipated, leaving the surroundings untouched. It was only later, when they encountered a police officer that they learned a tornado had passed through the area just minutes before.

Taking Control of One's Destiny

Quinton emphasized the importance of taking control of one's own destiny and not succumbing to the belief that certain conditions or illnesses are predetermined by family history. He believes that by making conscious choices and breaking unhealthy patterns, individuals can create a different outcome for themselves.

The Power of Believing in Oneself

Quinton shared a pivotal moment in his life when he received a call from his manager informing him that he had been cast as the lead role in the movie "The Blind Side." This news came at a time when Quinton was facing eviction and feeling uncertain about his future. The excitement and disbelief he felt upon receiving the news were overwhelming, and he immediately shared the news with his brother, who had been emotionally distant since their mother's passing.

Quinton's Struggles with Depression and Self-Worth

Quinton opened up about his personal struggles with depression and self-worth. He shared that while he never felt like he wanted to end his life, he did experience feelings of loneliness and a belief that he didn't deserve the things he desired. However, he learned an important lesson from someone who told him to find happiness within himself, rather than relying on others.

Quinton's Future Roles and Projects

When asked about his future roles as an actor, Quinton expressed that, while he is open to various genres, he is leaning towards love stories and playing the guy who gets the girl in romantic comedies. Quinton also discussed his upcoming projects and his mission to spread love and positivity through his music. He mentioned a song called "Find a New Way" that he will be performing with his brother, who is also a rapper.

We were truly honored and delighted to have Quinton as a guest. His ability to face challenges and continue to make a positive impact in the world is truly inspiring. Quinton's positive outlook and ability to find meaning in difficult situations are uplifting and inspiring. His ability to face challenges and continue to make a positive impact in the world is truly inspiring. We admire his resilience and determination to reinvent himself.

In today's episode with Dawn DiMicco we talked about personal setbacks, challenges, and strategies for making positive changes in one's life.

The Power of Seeking Help and Creating a Plan

My guest, Dawn DiMicco, shared her personal setbacks and challenges. She spoke about a moment of physical exhaustion that led her to realize she needed to make a change. Despite being a former all-American athlete, she found herself winded while making her bed. This moment was a wake-up call, leading to feelings of shame, embarrassment, and anger.

The biggest challenge for Dawn was acknowledging she couldn't do it alone and needed help. She emphasized the importance of having a plan to follow and eliminating barriers that hinder action.

Instead, we emphasized the importance of lifting heavy weights to build muscle and increase calorie burn even at rest. Dawn advised finding a coach or mentor who has achieved success in a healthy way and starting with simple, sustainable habits.

I shared my own weight loss journey, which took two years and focused on creating new habits and making incremental changes. We also discussed the challenges of maintaining weight loss and the need for a support system.

Celebrating Small Victories and Understanding Personal Motivation
Dawn shared a story about a friend who was feeling down about her day. She helped her see the wins and accomplishments she had, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and celebrating small victories each day.

She also highlighted the significance of understanding why certain goals and changes matter to us personally. Dawn shared a story about a client who wanted to lose weight so she could ride a roller coaster with her daughter, highlighting the power of having a strong motivation.

We touched on the impact our self-talk and body image can have on ourselves and those around us, emphasizing the need to be kind to ourselves and appreciate our bodies.

Cindy Esliger talks about ‘should have’, ‘could have’, and ‘would have’ phrases to highlight how they can lead to negative self-talk, self-blame, and feelings of regret. She guides us through how they impact our mindset and how to turn them around into possibilities instead of statements of disappointment.  

‘Should have’ and ‘could have’ root us in regret over past actions. Focusing solely on what we didn’t do or could have done better can impact our confidence going forward. It leads us to procrastination and doubt in our abilities. ‘Would have’, on the other hand, keeps us open to possibility which helps us take responsibility for past choices and lets us inform future decisions. Our words have power over our mindset. 

Eliminating negative speech from our vocabulary can be difficult, so Cindy offers five tips for getting rid of ‘should have’ and ‘could have’ and what to replace them with. The replacement wording aims to reframe mistakes and emphasize strengths. She explains how to turn those negative statements into empowered ones instead. And she shares three important takeaways regarding the impact of negative phrases on our mindset, to help us realize how important our self-talk really is. This episode challenges us to examine our innate speech and focus on what we say.

In this episode of Navigate the Day, we explore the powerful quote by Diogenes of Sinope and delve into the idea of valuing things that may not have significant worth. The journal prompt for today asks, "What valuable things do I sell too cheaply?" and I share my own personal experiences and reflections on this topic.

As I reflect on my past, I realize that I have sold many valuable things too cheaply, such as my own sanity and financial stability in exchange for attention and superficial pleasures. However, I am now focused on making positive changes in my life, including taking steps towards improving my financial stability and pursuing higher education.

I have come to the realization that happiness is not something that can be bought or sold, and that focusing on what I already have rather than what I lack is key to maintaining a positive mindset. I am also determined to find a workplace that aligns with my values and allows me to utilize my talents to the fullest.

Through mindfulness practices and self-reflection, I am learning to value the things that truly matter in life and not sell them short. Join me on this journey of self-discovery and growth, and let's learn to pay what things are truly worth.

Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!
