Let The Healing Continue
Jourdon Ferdinand
What is your personal mission in life?
My personal mission in life is to help as many people realize their goals and ambitions as much as possible. I want to leave this world in a better state than it was when I entered it by empowering and teaching others how to make their dreams become their future reality.
What is one of the biggest challenges you have overcome?
Procrastination was one of the biggest challenges I have overcome.
What one action helped you overcome your challenge?
What helped me overcome this challenge was the realization of what my life could become if I don’t start putting actions behind my ambitions. I had to take a long hard look in the mirror and tell myself that I’m better than a person who’s always putting things off. I had to tell myself that I’m tossing away God’s possible blessings every time I say “I’ll do it later” and then later never comes. I had to start making it a point to myself to get things done and handle my responsibilities or else risk becoming a lazy shell of my former self.
How do you define leadership?
I define leadership as being: helpful, encouraging, kind, giving, consistent, and one who can instill hope inside the hearts of those who believe in them. To be a leader doesn’t mean to be a self-righteous entitled person, but to be someone whom others can look up to for guidance in a real genuine way.
What is your advice to anyone who is ashamed to tell their story?
There’s someone right now who can learn from your experiences so why not share it with them? If you can help someone avoid some of the pitfalls that you fell into during your life’s journey , then what’s stopping you from sharing it? Bless others with the opportunity to learn from what you’ve been through, in order for the next generation to go even further during their life’s journey.
