IS YOUR GOAL BIG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME ANY ADVERSITY?

  

Five years ago Matt Long was struck, and consequently run over, by a bus in New York City. The accident was so severe that doctors gave him less than a 5 percent chance to survive.  Fortunately, Matt Long beat the odds, and then some. In July 2009, he finished the Ford Ironman in Lake Placid.

I highly recommend taking the time to watch the two videos below. Matt Long’s story is as inspiring as any.  It certainly puts any problem or bad day that I’ve ever had into perspective. I’d be hard pressed to find a story more fitting for Winston Churchill’s quote below.

"If you are going through hell, keep going."

Part 1

Part II

 

"I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.   Selah."
~ Psalm 32:5~

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love."
~ Martin Luther King Jr.~
