Vince Lombardi came up with one of the world’s most famous motivational commands of all, beloved of managers everywhere: “Quitters never win, and winners never quit.”This is so true in life and in business… I know too many studios that have thrown in the towel recently because they couldn’t see the finish line and it was just around the next corner. Check out this video for your motivational Monday.
Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again.He stumbled upon an article about Diamond Dallas Page doing Yoga and decided to give it a try — he couldn’t do traditional, higher impact exercise, so he tried DDP YOGA and sent an email to Dallas telling him his story.Dallas was so moved by his story, he began emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur throughout his journey – he encouraged Arthur to keep going and to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but kept going.Arthur was getting stronger rapidly, and he was losing weight at an incredible rate! Because of DDP’s specialized workout, he gained tremendous balance and flexibility — which gave him hope that maybe someday, he’d be able to walk again.His story is proof, that we cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often do not know our own potential. Niether Arthur, nor Dallas knew what he would go on to accomplish, but this video speaks for itself. In less than a year, Arthur completely transformed his life. If only he had known what he was capable of, 15 years earlier.
Do not waste any time thinking you are stuck – you can take control over your life, and change it faster than you might think.
Hopefully this story can inspire you to follow your dreams – whatever they may be.
Anything is Possible!
Good…
Thank-You, I cryed the whole time. I really needed this because I have been trying for so long and no one takes me seriously. Photography is my life. I will keep taking photos and no I do not have to be paid and yes I will keep learning and buying, this is my life……………And it’s not the camera (yes the camera takes a picture, but a photographer takes a photo…) yes there is a difference. I will not give up just because someone else has a camera that cost more or I can’t finish my next test on time. (I will make time) My Kayla keeps me going and she tells me all the time mama stop listening and start doing, thanks to her I no longer smoke, I have gone back to school and I do believe. I have her……Thank-You Kayla and Mike I loved what you did and love what you do. Thank-You, because of you I have been chasing this dream and because of you I will continue. Have a Great Holiday weekend 🙂 Keep Smiling and I’ll keep shooting…..
Thank-You
All of this goes out to Mike Luter, thanks again
Thank-You, I believe….
