Rise Up Mentor

Derek Kempker

Welcome to Rise Up Mentor a platform that advocates for lifelong learning and constant improvement in every aspect of life. As someone who’s experienced both the valleys and peaks of life, I understand that while we cannot control all the obstacles that come our way, we do have the power to choose whether we get back up or not. And each time we choose to rise again, we become stronger. But why settle for just getting back up? By consistently striving to become better and wiser, we can reduce our chances of being knocked down in the first place. That’s why I started Rise Up Mentor – to encourage and motivate you to continuously improve in all areas of life, including vocation, marriage, friendship, personal development, health, parenting, lifestyle, spirituality, intellect, and finance. I’m a Certified Life Coach and lifelong learner who’s committed to constantly improving. And I want to share that mindset and journey with you. If you’re looking for a resource that provides helpful information and encouragement to become the best version of yourself, then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s embark on this journey of self-improvement together.

It’s not uncommon to construct our own additional or unnecessary stressors. We craft pressure through self-imposed expectations, comparisons, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. This self-inflicted stress can taint our experience, distorting our priorities and diverting energy from what truly matters. By recognizing the patterns that lead us down this path, we can regain control, embrace self-compassion, and learn to navigate life's challenges with a healthier perspective. It's time to shed light on the ways we inadvertently weave stress into our lives and discover the liberation that comes from dismantling these unnecessary burdens.

Choosing a humble life over a haughty one leads to true greatness and fulfillment. As C.S. Lewis wisely said, "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less." This quote reminds us that humility isn't about devaluing ourselves, but shifting our focus towards the greater good. In a world that often encourages arrogance and self-promotion, cultivating humility is a transformative and empowering choice.

While it's natural to want to make everyone happy. And in all honesty, it’s amazing when we can help others and we should we can, but trying to please everyone can have negative effects on us if we let it consume us.

It is all too easy to settle, to wrap ourselves snugly in the security of routines and familiar surroundings. True growth lies outside the cozy boundaries we construct. Stepping outside our comfort zone is where we can exceed our current state, it is where we can become encouraged to discover new horizons, face our fears, and unleash our hidden talents.
