[#PushThrough] ▪︎ 💥 “.. Life is a gamble. There are no accidents, there is only some purpose that we haven't yet understand or discovered for the time being.📍 Every scar I have, makes me who I am. If we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we get, learn to trust our instincts, and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door. We shall always understand the meaning of our purpose in life. 💡 At no circumstance forget how far you've come. Everything you have gotten through. All the times you have pushed on even when you felt like you couldn't anymore. Keep pushing, keep hope alive. 💪🏾 These days, I might be disconnected, but all for the sake of a speedy recovery, because five days of complete bed rest isn't easy. But be assure that we'll come back stronger than yesterday. Thank you for understanding, being there and just caring. 🙏🏾✨️ #Purpose🔋 …” ― Gwendell Mercelina, Jr. © ________________ 📸 • @wenshow · · · 📶 • #Alive • #YDK • #Gratitude • #25Nov • #Nov25 • #Politics • #Politician • #AccidentsHappen • #Fighter • #Politico • #BanHendelKuGwendell • #MemberOfParliament • #Thankful • #Parlamentario • #NoShaveNovember • #GlobalCitizen • #PurposeDriven • #TaMiHendenan • #GwendellMercelina • #wenshow • #tenemiskèrpi • #Curaçao🇨🇼 • #gnius • #keepmesharp (at Willemstad, Curaçao) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clbmd04OllH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In which you don't shave any hair of your body but instead you grow more bestial, brutish, and manly. 💇🏾‍♂️ The aim of No-Shave November in Curaçao as initiative of JCI CLIC is to grow awareness by putting down your razor for 30 days and donate your monthly hair-maintenance expenses to the cause. 🔋 No-Shave November is a month-long campaign during which people forgo shaving and grooming in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness. 🚹 Growing your beard can sometimes surprise you and change your face in unexpected ways.

The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. 💚 Ghandi shared wisdom for eternity: 'When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.' 🌿 If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything - it flows so naturally that no matter what nobody can dim that radiant light which is the truth glowing through you. 🌟 #StrongerThanEver 💪🏾 …” ― Gwendell Mercelina, Jr. © ________________ 📸 • @wenshow · · · 📶 • #Pure • #YDK • #TrueSelf • #11Sep • #Sep11 • #Politics • #Politician • #Real • #Friendship • #Politico • #BanHendelKuGwendell • #MemberOfParliament • #Difference • #Parlamentario • #Determined • #GlobalCitizen • #PurposeDriven • #TaMiHendenan • #GwendellMercelina • #wenshow • #tenemiskèrpi • #Curaçao🇨🇼 • #gnius • #keepmesharp (at Curaçao) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiY363-OSFr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
