My first talk- April 13th, 2018 at University of Florida. I was beyond nervous the first time I gave a formal talk to a crowd of people I didn’t know. I had my notes close by and was so scared I’d freeze and lose my place/thoughts. I almost didn’t go through with it but something down inside of me pushed me to do it despite the fear and anxiety I was experiencing of others judging me. That “thing” was my PURPOSE. My purpose to inspire perspective in others based on my life journey and the amount of pain I’ve endured in my short time on this earth to do what I love has taught me a tremendous amount about living. It’s all what fuels me past the fear and anxiety of others not caring what I have to say or not doing a good enough job because I know several aspects of my experiences will resonate with someone when they’re meant to hear it. I’ve spent a lot of my life silenced by various people in my life, some of which almost killed me and kept me from pursuing the life I envisioned for my life leaving me feeling as if I was broken and not worthy of my desires. Beyond inspiring perspective, part of my purpose is to support others in becoming empowered to share their voice and create the life they truly want to live. We all deserve to at least take a shot on our dreams with full potential and courage. Not live suppressed by those too scared to go after what they dreamed of and pass down their insecurities to others. I spent a lot of time avoiding my full potential influenced by negativity and it’s my mission to not leave a single person I connect with feeling any bit of doubt in themselves. Josh P. 💚🧠✌️
