Overcoming Obstacles

Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man (or woman) does with what happens to them. Aldous Huxley

W Mitchell was a marine and was involved in a couple of terrible accidents. However he was determined to keep going, to regain as much independence as possible. 

His unstoppable positive attitude has won him all sorts of awards and he is a professional motivational speaker. He said "Before I was paralysed, there were ten thousand things I could do. Now there are nine thousand. I can either dwell on the one thousand I lost or focus on the nine thousand I have left.I tell people I have had two major bumps in my life. If I have chosen  not to use them as an excuse to quit, then maybe some of the experiences you are having which are pulling you back can be put into a new perspective.You can step back,take a wider view and have a chance to say "Maybe that isn't such a big deal after all." Remember It's not what happens,it's what you do about it."
