Finding Our Identity at Fight for Life

Finding Our Identity

As we live, we learn, as we apply what we’ve learned, we grow! To quote the great societal influencer and business mogul Jay Z, “A loss, ain’t a loss, it’s a lesson!” This is the mindset we embrace at the Fight for Life Foundation – a Growth Mindset! Learning from our experiences and building our Self Awareness has improved how we manage our relationships and operations. What has been birthed from our losses has been a deeper understanding of self, what we believe in, what we stand for, and how we work! As we elevate to the next level of our existence, we would like to share with our network what has been established as guidelines and principals that anchor our work of Advocating for Quality in Life!
