TOMMY MCDONALD
Who are you?
I am my ancestor's wildest dreams come to life.
What does it mean to be strong?
Being strong is often confused with cold indifference and stern, emotionless stoicism. Real strength requires warmth, a connection with your humanity and a clear understanding of your limits. Being strong means knowing that it's ok to be weak sometimes. Those moments allow us to recharge, reflect and realign. In those moments, we gather our positive energy so that when strength is needed, we can be fully present. Strength is transferable through positive energy and support. When given and received freely, it creates an unlimited supply that can be tapped into when needed.
How do you give people strength?
I give strength through positivity and understanding. We have convinced ourselves that we must be bulletproof at all times. That mindset actually weakens us because we don't allow ourselves to be human. In my case, I offer an unlimited supply of hugs and positive energy and encouragement. I have a whole bag of "it's gonna be ok" to hand out.
