Fight to be YOU! – India White

Admin • April 3, 2018

Fight to Be You!

To fight is defined in the dictionary as “take part in a violent struggle involving the exchange of physical blows or the use of weapons.”

In life, we are all forced the deal with various winds that come our way. Sometimes, we must take a hit or two, and can feel defeated and discouraged. This can lead to us growing “cold” or “silent”, choosing to lack a drive or to surrender our passions and desires to the obvious.

As we continue to strive towards success, we have choices to make. We can choose to get up again in the face of doubt and despair, or we can wallow around in thoughts of self-pity and negativity from outside sources.  However, if we are ever going to be who we were called to be, we must strive to be unique . We must fight to be who we were created to be!  Hence, I want to take time and encourage you to FIGHT TO BE YOU! Let’s choose to fight with these components:

F: Face Your Fears! – There is nothing more tormenting than being hindered by fears we cannot see, thoughts that never surface and by people’s opinions! Think about it; how much time have you wasted waiting on people’s opinions to make a decision for you when the entire time you had control over a situation? It’s time to come out from underneath the fear of others, and be YOU! If you were created to shine a light of a new perspective, then SHINE ON! Stop worrying about what others will say or do to you because you choose to be unique! If we were all supposed to be alike, we would have been. However, life has shown us that there is flavor added with diversity and as a result, we all matter and are needed to make success happen! So, face your fears and come out of your shell !

I: Ignore Negative Voices : Choose NOT to listen to negative people, opinions or perspectives about your dreams, desires and passions. Life is too short for you to have your dreams and your uniqueness “bottled up” in someone else’s opinion of what you or your life should be. Consider how much richness you could have in every moment if you just silenced the opinions of people who you’ve given to much mental power to? Imagine how much more you could have accomplished if you would have just followed your gut and excelled the way you know you were made to instead of taking the back seat and coasting ? Stop being held hostage by negative people and voices! They did not create you; they do not know the fullness of your destiny. Hence, choose to be YOU! Get your fate out of their hands and back into yours and look up to find the true path and voice of direction for your life!

G: Get Up From Hiding! – So many times, wonderful people are limited and hindered because of others in their circle, failed ideas and dreams. This causes much depression, low self-esteem, frustration and health related issues.  Instead of accepting to embrace less than what God has for you, choose to get up and fight for what He’s called you to have! Stop suppressing your passions and dreams in fear of your adversaries! Choose to come out from hiding and express yourself again! Lift your voice and speak out what you know has been bottled up in you! You never know how your uniqueness will help someone else! Fight to be YOU and get up from hiding!

H: Hang in There – This fight will not always be an easy fight. Sometimes, you will have to give your ALL to have your voice heard. You must not back down until you’ve accomplished your desire and you can be YOU, and walk in your greatest potential. Whenever you are discouraged, hang in there. When someone else tries to knock you back into the cave, get up and fight again!  Find others who can help pull you up! Submit yourself to people who truly love you and want the best for you!  You must not die as a silent voice ; we need your creativity, passion and purpose. Fight to be you, and don’t quit until you taste the victory!

T: Take Action! –  Fighting is an action word. You cannot do this sitting back suppressed; you must press your way forward and fight for your print! March towards your uniqueness, and choose to not allow injustice or maltreatment of any kind to dominate you ANYMORE! Stop allowing everyone else to mold you into someone you were never created to be! Emulate the AWESOME version of yourself that you are you were destined to become! Stop sulking in despair and settling for less; fight to be you and SHINE FORTH! This is your season; so go ahead and make it happen !  Win the war that rages within and outside of you!  Use your weapons of positive self-talk and optimism! Fight the desire to believe the lies and negativity that bothers you. Remember, there’s only one of YOU, so be the best you that you can be!

Thanks for allowing me to have a voice in your life! Choose to WIN and FIGHT to be YOU!

From Rotten Moments to Sweet Blessings: What Banana Bread and Fermented Foods Teach Us About Life Sometimes life hands us what feels like rotten bananas; situations that seem spoiled, broken, or beyond hope. Maybe it’s a tough season of loss, failure, disappointment, or uncertainty. Yet, just like those overripe bananas transform into delicious banana bread, or milk ferments into nourishing cheese and yogurt, our "rotten" moments have the power to turn into something sweet and life-giving. Why Rottenness Can Be Good In the culinary world, fermentation, a process that uses “rottenness” to transform foods , creates some of the healthiest, most flavorful staples we enjoy: yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, and more. This “rottenness” isn’t waste; it’s a powerful agent of change that unlocks nutrients, improves digestion, and promotes health. Similarly, life’s difficult seasons are not the end. They are part of a process— a fermentation of our character, faith, and grit When we lean into these moments with grit—great resilience in time—we develop strength, wisdom, and sweetness in our souls that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. 7 Ways to Overcome a Negative Mindset and Embrace Grit in Rotten Seasons 1. Acknowledge Your Feelings Without Defeat It’s okay to feel hurt, frustrated, or discouraged. But remember, these feelings don’t define you. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” 2. Shift Your Perspective to Growth View challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. Romans 5:3-4 reminds us, “Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Just like looking at a bunch of rotten bananas can seem discouraging until you shift your thinking and see them as a perfect ingredient for banana bread, choose to see your moments of rottenness as a game changer for your destiny! 3. Practice Patience Through the Process Good things take time— like fermentation and baking . Wait on God’s timing. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “There is a time for everything.” Think of how spoiled milk seems disgusting and gut wrenching, until you learn of how wonderful of an ingredient it becomes for homemade cheese! Trust the process, and know that it will all work out in your favor! 4. Cultivate Resilience by Staying Connected Surround yourself with supportive people who encourage you to keep going. Galatians 6:2 teaches, “Carry each other’s burdens.” Sometimes, that person might be the catalyst for a new direction, new energy and exponential success. 5. Focus on Small, Consistent Steps Break down overwhelming problems into manageable pieces. Z echariah 4:10 encourages, “Do not despise these small beginnings. ” Don't lose sight on your progress, your identity or your purpose. 6. Renew Your Mind Daily Replace negative thoughts with truth and hope from Scripture. Philippians 4:8 advises, “Think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure.” Remember that God is not dead, and he sees exactly how his plan in your life will manifest. Leave your worries on the throne and know he will justfiy you. 7. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection Every small victory is a sign of growth and sweet fruit to come. J ames 1:12 says, “Blessed is the one who perseveres.” Just as you are making banana bread, cheese, yogurt and other wonderful foods, you know that there might be bumps along the way, but keep pressing on! The final product is worth the moments of struggle disappointment and rottenness. You will smile in the end. Conclusion Remember, just as rotten bananas, milk, and vegetables become nourishing foods through a process of transformation, your tough seasons are preparing you for a sweeter, stronger tomorrow . Stay gritty, endure the process, and trust that God is turning your struggles into something beautiful.

Thank You, Nevada Association of School Administrators: Building a Culture of G.R.I.T. Together I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Adam Lane and the Nevada Association of School Administrators (NASA) for the incredible opportunity to speak at your recent conference. It was truly an honor to engage with such passionate, forward-thinking educational leaders who are committed to transforming schools and communities. During our time together, we explored a theme close to my heart: creating a culture of G.R.I.T.—not just in the classroom, but throughout our communities. We unpacked the G.R.I.T. Framework, which focuses on cultivating Growth Mindset, Resilience, Intentional Self-Efficacy, and Time Management in both educators and students. These four pillars are foundational for student success, especially in today’s challenging and ever-evolving educational landscape. We also discussed the critical role educators and school leaders play in modeling and reinforcing these values. From building trusting relationships to ensuring equity and access, educators are the heartbeat of our communities. When we lead with empathy, authenticity, and grit, we empower students to do the same—and we create schools where every learner feels seen, supported, and capable of greatness. To the school leaders, superintendents, and administrators who attended: thank you for your engagement, your insights, and your commitment to building a legacy of perseverance and purpose. I walked away inspired by your stories, your questions, and your unwavering dedication to improving outcomes for all students across Nevada. If you're interested in learning more about the G.R.I.T. Framework or want to access tools like the G.R.I.T. Workbook, I invite you to visit www.india-white.com/what-does-grit-mean-to-you ] And if you missed the session or want to revisit the message, you can also check out my TEDx Talk: The Power of G.R.I.T. Thank you once again, Adam and NASA, for giving me the platform to share this mission and for all you do to champion student success across Nevada and beyond. Let’s continue lifting others as we climb—one gritty step at a time.
