Today is my 'second' birthday.
41 years ago I was crushed between two parked cars which virtually amputated my right leg... It was a defining moment of my life but it is NOT what defines me.
My injury is why I limp and why it is becoming increasingly difficult to walk.
In my opinion, we must use the negative things that happen to us as inspirational moments to take us to the next level. This is what I have done and I would suggest that when bad things happen to you that you take a moment, collect your thoughts and ask yourself:
"Something bad just happened to me. How can I move forward with my life."
That is what I did and it 'worked' for me.
