Random Little Inspirations
May 13, 2008 12:43 pm Random ObservationsEvery now and then I’ll notice some random thing (go figure
) that makes me think about being better or working hard to be the best I can be. This morning I had one of those experiences.
I went to the gym this morning and was getting ready to do some squats when I saw a girl in there working out with a trainer that only had one leg. And she was working just as hard as anyone else with her trainer. It just made me think, “Man, she’s only got one leg and she’s still doing the work. I’ve got no physical problems like that and yet I’ll make excuses left and right.”
That was a physical, working out type example. But sometimes I get other examples as well that might motivate me in other ways. Like when you see someone who might be challenged or handicapped in some way doing well in school or business. I don’t ever think that I’m better than any of these people, but it just makes me think about how they might have so many reasons and good excuses to just sit back and let things happen, or complain, or whatever. But they don’t.
Things like that just motivate me to want to be better. They make me want to do my best and not make excuses or complaints. I admire those people who no matter what their circumstances always push on. Thanks for being a great example!

I think this fits into the realm of ‘inspired by adversity’ pretty nicely. Although I wonder about all of the other people who have let physical impairment get in the way of enjoying their lives. I guess as the saying goes ‘different strokes for different folks”.
