šŸŽ™ļøTurning Challenges into Opportunities with Kijuan Amey

šŸ’« Episode Summary:
Ā In this inspiring episode of Linda’s Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I’m joined by motivational speaker, author, and U.S. Air Force veteran Kijuan Amey. Kijuan is the founder of Amey Motivation LLC, vice president of a chapter of the Blinded Veterans Association, and an ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program.

After surviving a devastating motorcycle accident caused by a distracted driver, Kijuan was placed in a medically induced coma and underwent life-saving surgeries from head to foot. Though he lost his eyesight, he never lost his vision—his powerful mindset, resilience, and commitment to rising above his circumstances.

Kijuan's story is not only one of survival, but of thriving. From rock climbing to archery, rowing, and skiing, Kijuan shows the world what’s possible when we refuse to be defined by our limitations. His message is one of hope, empowerment, and unwavering determination.

šŸ”„ In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How Kijuan turned a life-altering accident into a platform for motivation

  • Why he believes ā€œI may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my visionā€

  • The difference between being ā€œdisabledā€ and ā€œdifferently abledā€

  • The mindset shifts that empower personal progress and purpose

  • How to stop asking ā€œWhy me?ā€ and start asking, ā€œWhat now?ā€

šŸ’¬ Memorable Quotes from Kijuan:

  • ā€œI lost the ability to see, but I still have vision. Vision is a mindset thing.ā€

  • ā€œDon’t let your limitations define who you are. You are the one who defines who you are.ā€

  • ā€œI’m not dis-abled, I’m differently abled.ā€

  • ā€œTo empower those who feel less than they once were.ā€

  • ā€œTo show people they still can, even when they think they can’t.ā€
