I wish I were as brave as Sojourner Truth


"It is the mind that makes the body" -- Sojourner Truth

    This quote resonates with my life experiences. Does it resonate with you too?

    Sojourner Truth was an advocate for civil and women’s rights in the 19th century. She was a former slave who consistently acted in accordance with her beliefs.

    Sojourner Truth believed that our perception and focus influence how others see our bodies. She suggested that if someone persistently fears they will get cancer, their strong belief might contribute to that outcome.

    A secure upbringing in a loving family can positively affect one's demeanor. Nevertheless, sometimes we can tell if someone has faced challenges just by looking at them. I've seen people who have endured hardships but appear content, while others from loving, affluent backgrounds show signs of distress.

    Sojourner Truth spoke with timeless wisdom – read again: "It is the mind that makes the body.” It's never too late to adopt a positive attitude—seeing the glass as half full rather than half empty.

    By focusing on optimism and noticing the positives around us, we can reshape our mindset and develop an outlook that we are proud of and cherish.

    I aim to be a positive person who laughs and dreams vibrantly. My mother was an optimist, and while I lean more positive than negative, there is room to grow. We have the power to choose optimism and pursue contentment daily. I strive to adopt an attitude that shapes my journey.
