Second Chance to Live

Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury — A Guide to Reaching Your Dreams Video Presentation

May 17, 2015 By Second Chance to Live

dream-333815_1280 dreams and destiny

Several days ago I wrote an article that I would like to share with you in video presentation format. I create video presentations of my articles to offer the information to individuals who learn more effectively through watching and listening. Below is a brief excerpt from the article.

“In my experience, because I realize that the life that I am living is not a dress rehearsal; it is my interest to become all that I can become in my life. In my experience, I have found that knowledge can only give me information, like the bones on the skeleton. In my experience, I have found that experience, strength and hope is what puts meat on the bones. In my experience, I have found that experience, strength and hope gives life to the meat and the bones. Apart from experience, strength and hope, knowledge only gives some thing to think about with out the ability to apply what has been learned. In my experience, I chased after knowledge for many years believing that, if I just found the right knowledge; I would find hope.

What I found was that knowledge in and of itself could not offer hope, because; in knowledge itself; I could not find peace. In my experience, it was only after I reached a “bottom” that I was able to admit that mere knowledge could not alone offer me hope. Thankfully, in my quest to find hope: I discovered a guide upon which I could build hope. Through my studies, I discovered the concept of self-actualization. The concept of self-actualization helped me to realize that I could find hope and in the process reach my dreams. 

Through using the concept of self-actualization, I discovered that I could and was able to recover, grow and develop as an individual. I discovered that I could find balance in my mind, body and spirit. Through using the concept of self-actualization, I was able to begin to understand how my mind, body and spirit were separate, but connected and dependent upon one another. As I listened, learned and applied what I heard, as other people shared their experience, strength and hope; I found ways to integrate their experience, strength and hope into my mind, body and spirit. As I applied their experience, strength and hope into my own experience; I grew in my own experience, strength and hope. In the process, I discovered that my capacity to express myself also increased, which in turn; gave me hope and the ability to offer hope to other people.”

The Importance of Spirit, Soul and Emotions in Brain Injury Recovery

“Sunrise over the ocean viewed from inside a wooden boat with a steering wheel. Title reads ‘The Importance of Spirit, Soul and Emotions in Ongoing Brain Injury Recovery.’ A glowing head silhouette with a heart and brain network highlights qualities such as awareness, trust, discernment, healing, wholeness, resilience, integration, and meaning. Signs read ‘Mind,’ ‘Body,’ and ‘Spirit, Soul and Emotions.’ A stone reads ‘Not driven by fear. Guided by discernment. Living in wholeness.’ The image includes the Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™ and the name Craig J. Phillips MRC, BA.”

Illustration titled, "What happens when support systems encounter human complexity that they do not readily understand, integrate, or support?" On the left, a colorful human face and interconnected threads represent ambiguity, vulnerability, emotion, layered meaning, non-linear communication, relational complexity, and correction. On the right, a structured blue-toned environment shows a brain, professionals, and symbols for manageability, coherence, speed, stabilization, completion, and procedural efficiency. A bridge and puzzle piece connect the two sides, symbolizing the encounter between human complexity and support systems. The image includes Craig J. Phillips, MRC, BA, Second Chance to Live, and The Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™.
