Palermo Galindo - Responding Positively

"Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." ~ Charles R. Swindoll. We spoke with Palermo Galindo, Program Director for Indiana Tech's LAMPRO Program, Chair for Indiana Coalition for Hispanic and Latino Affairs, an former City Liaison with the City of Fort Wayne, and he touched upon how he got through the many changes of moving from Mexico to the United States when he was younger through the passing of his mother and 15 year old son. He discussed how he was able to get through the many changes in life. Staying positive all the time is near impossible and contrary to what you may think, it is counterproductive. The key to acknowledge any emotion or attitude about a scenario, but the plan to move forward from it must be positive in order to gain mental strength. Music: “Old Sour” Written and performed by Dane Connor.

Hear his story of how he battled addiction through high school and his college career. Nate's story of perseverance of trying to stay sober through many, many attempts reminds us that we must understand that sometimes solutions do not present themselves immediately and we must be patient to see the solution and how to make it work.

Defining Your Moments with Christie Browning

"You didn't come this far to only come this far!" Whenever a roadblock or obstacle hits us, our first inclination is to stop working on the lan and give up. However, when we take a moment and give ourselves credit for what fears we have faced, and the positive that WILL come in our future, our mental strength will push us forward to completion. I chat with Christie Browning from Revision Motivational Co. as she describes her story of adversity and pushing through major obstacles adn how she turned her life around.

Perseverance with Austin & Petra Hogan

This is a powerful story of perseverance through mental and physical rehabilitation of Petra Hogan after her ordeal during the Aurora theatre shootings. No matter what we have failed at thus far or what we have to relearn, we can take these challenges as learning opportunities to adjust our path and lay them as building blocks to our eventual success.

“If a plan doesn’t work, change the plan, not the goal”. As we are all aware, life will throw us curveballs when we least expect it. But if we understand that will happen and that there are multiple ways to cross those obstacles we will have a better chance of overcoming those obstacles ad embrace adversity.
