Let’s be honest, life is challenging. It always has been and it always will be. Some people smack challenges right in the face and accomplish amazing things, and others let challenges determine the outcome of their lives. In this instance, when I say accomplish amazing things, I’m not talking about making tons of money. (although that can be a great accomplishment) Im talking about doing something that can inspire even perfect strangers.

On sunday I was on youtube I was watching my weekly inspirational video. Usually, I will watch Jim Valvano’s espy speach “Don’t Give Up, Don’t Ever Give Up.” If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you google it. Anyway, after watching it, I saw a headline that really caught my eye. It read, “Armless Swimmer Dominates at Meet”. I kid you not, this young man with no arms out swam everybody and won. Chills covered my entire body and I felt an instant surge of adrenalin. This is one of those “amazing things” I was referring to earlier. This kid, who’s name I don’t even know, has impacted my life. That is special. Watch it, and do something amazing!
