Dennis's Suicide Awareness Campaign
Donation protected
This weekend I was blessed with an incredible opportunity to attend ACENSION LEADERSHIP ACADEMY thanks to my great friend Gary. I want to start off by saying after this first weekend of 6 sessions I already feel completely transformed and 100% okay with my self for the first time in my life. I have decided starting today that I am choosing to go completely sober for the REST OF 2017. I want to dedicate this year to being completely focused and have zero distractions in order to raise 150k for suicide awareness and different charities that deal with suicide. Many of you may not know this, but at the age of 5 my father committed suicide and for me I thought it wasn't a big deal and just a hurdle in my life. Deep down inside I was actually torn and filled with immense amount of pain and anger. Along with this my grandmother on my mom’s side committed suicide as well. I’ve never openly talked about this because in my mind it was something I had no control over. Little did I know this was actually a huge blessing. I've always thought I had the ability to move mountains and change the world. The only thing stopping me was my lack of self worth and procrastination. Some limiting beliefs that have been controlling my life up until this weekend were “I can't do this because I'm not old enough, smart enough , I don't have a big enough audience.” Etc. This weekend made me realize that I'm tired of waiting and I need to step up and have my voice be heard. My mission of going on a year long sobriety and reaching out to others is something deep inside I want to do to help my community. My father would be proud that I am attempting to make a change. Suicide is no joke and I'm sure many people have been affected by this disease. What people don't know is that you have a voice, a voice that can change the complete direction of someone's mindset. By raising money for my cause I want everyone to know that I am there to talk to anyone that feels sad or in a lonely place. Hiding behind something only makes you more isolated and I want to be committed to rip that wall down for everyone and anyone who is in the situation I was hiding from. I want to let people know it's ok to cry, mourn and be sad. Over the last 19 years I never forgave my father for taking his life, but this weekend I forgave him and said I love you and smiled up to heaven letting him know I'm ready to make a change and I want him to be proud of me. As I write this I'm getting Teary eyed because this is a little place In my heart that still hurts but also there are tears of joy because I'm about to change thousands and hopefully in the future millions of people's lives. At the end of 2017 after my sobriety is complete I plan to go visit my fathers grave in Germany. The emotions I feel right now are uncontainable happiness because I'm about to change my life and get on track to change many others. As I conclude this I would like all of your support. If you have any people that might be able to help me out in any way please reach out to me. This was really hard for me to write but stepping out side of my comfort zone is the first step for achieving massive success and breakthrough.
One love everybody! Let’s make 2017 great!
Who’s ready to be a maniac on a mission with me?
