make no excuses

of a fighter, that’s what I’d like to possess. I just watched some people with an amazing spirit on Oprah today that just blew my mind and gave true meaning to the phrase “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, and made me stop and question myself for anytime I said “I can’t” or gave in to defeat and the obstacles in my path. One of them wrote a book “Make No Excuses” and has lived his life this way. Born with a medical condition (which I didn’t hear) he has no arms or legs but hasn’t let that stop him. He has played football and been a wrestler and has typing skills that would embarrass a few people I know! There were other stories of amazing courage and determination that I found both inspiring and humbling.
