This is scary. To admit you have made too many excuses. There have been more times than I’d care to mention that I’ve let an opportunity pass me by because of fear, doubt, pride and just plain laziness. I’ve made as many resolutions as the next person. And I’ve forgotten twice as much.
Today, like too many days before, I saw an inspirational video. They always make me think deeply in the moment that I watch them. But somehow, the fear of my next step holds me back again and I’m crippled back into living the same way.
The video I saw today was different. The video I saw today made me cry. It made me realize on a level I hadn’t felt in a LONG time that there’s no reason to let any perceived obstacle stop me. Because it is, after all, simply my perception. And if I could just take a moment to change my perception, I could see another way to beat this challenge.
That is exactly what this man, Richie, has done. He was born with, what would be to most people, an inconceivable obstacle. Instead of letting that be his way out, he has made it his way in. He sees that there is NOTHING in life that can stop him.
So, here is the video I saw that moved me to write today. Maybe you’ve seen it already and you were inspired. Or maybe you haven’t. And maybe this is the video that sparks a change for the course of you life.
Live inspired!
