If your life was a book and you were the author, how would you want the story to go FROM TODAY FORWARD?
- Would you start to daydream again, as you did like a little kid?
- Would you think of others & how to help solve some of the big problems?
- Would want to be the batter in the box with bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th or have the basketball with the clock ticking down to take the last shot?
- Would you dare greatly and strive valiantly and believe in endless possibilities & dreams?
- What if you were 20 years old and just woke up from a coma during Spring Break in a hospital room to realize both of your legs had been amputated and your spleen removed because of a blood disease and septic shock?
- And you had to be the author of that book too- how would the story go FROM THAT DAY FORWARD?
- Would it be the same story as the first one?
What if, you just won a GOLD MEDAL or a National Championship and had a national platform and a broad audience, would that author write a totally different story FROM THAT DAY FORWARD or would the priorities still be to help others who were less fortunate and to shine the light on solving problems you know exist?
Listen to the incredible story of Amy Purdy! Listen how her mindset allows her to live beyond limits.
Purdy: “If I could find the right pair of feet, I could do this again”.
BORDERS & OBSTACLES can do one of two things:
- STOP US IN OUR TRACKS, or
- FORCE US TO GET CREATIVE.
“When I lost my legs, my legs did not disable me, if anything, they’ve FORCED ME TO RELY ON MY IMAGINATION & TO BELIEVE IN THE POSSIBILITIES”.
“Our imaginations can be used as tools for BREAKING THROUGH BARRIERS, because in our MINDS, WE CAN DO & BE ANYTHING.
IT’S BELIEVING IN THOSE DREAMS & FACING OUR FEARS HEAD ON.
Instead of looking at our challenges and limitations as something negative or bad, we can BEGIN TO LOOK AT THEM AS BLESSINGS & MAGNIFICENT GIFTS THAT CAN BE USED TO IGNITE OUR IMAGINATIONS & help us go further than we ever thought we could go”.
PURSUE EXCELLENCE & WIN THIS PITCH!
