As a child, I saw signs as I grew up that I was somehow different. I seemed to have more troubles than my friends. The life I
had when I was young was in a dangerous and difficult environment. 😢
I'm smiling here, but often as a child and into my teen years, I went to bed in fear and woke up in fear. During middle school, I was bullied. In high school, I had to talk to a counselor because of my home environment. I grew up with little money and didn't learn about habits to become successful until after college. 😟
There were many childhood challenges I had to overcome. My strength as an individual was apparent since a small child but I didn't recognize that until I was an adult. As I continued my personal growth, I realized that for one to continually overcome barriers and persist forward, it's a sign of strength and uniqueness.

After college, I still saw signs of how I was different than many people. I didn't get it at first. After self-improvement classes and a different type of counseling than I had in grade school, I gained more knowledge and awareness of life and then noticed the specific characteristics about me that were different.
I realized that these characteristics were in certain types of people and that they seemed to have more adversity in their life than others. This was the first realization that led to the concept of this group. Yet, it wouldn't be created for many more years.
As the years went by, I kept observing. I listened as my friends talked. I watched videos of people I admired on social media. If you really observe, you can see the Determin8tor characteristics in certain people. You can see the signs of their strength.
You can see the signs of their strength.
I explain here how I came up with the name: Determin8tor Diaries. I want you to know that "being different" is a good thing. There are some people who will go to extremes to convince you otherwise, but that's because there's something in you they fear. They will go to great lengths to convince you "not to do it", second guess yourself, stay small, don't go after your dreams, "you're bad" and the list goes on.

You know what I say to that? Slay the Nay and keep moving forward! Change your life and by doing that, change others. Conquering your goals will contribute to the goals of others. The better you become, the more you achieve, the more you enhance the lives of others around you. That's the purpose of Determin8tor Diaries and that's why we are here!
