LAKA here. T-boned on my motorcycle May 2019. Want to say that my son sent me one of your video shorts because it was funny ("I can put my feet on my socket") I subscribed and since then saw the video of you walking through the woods (My goal as well and now after 5 years can do it finally). Then, this morning, I saw this video. I was curious of your story and this video satisfied that. I was motivated to comment because my mind set, formed due to my leg loss, is almost a mirror image of what you state here. More importantly though, because of the last message on this video. I say all the time, if my mind set was exactly as it now before the accident i would have accomplished SO many others things. I'm 54 now and have always been a hard worker but not with the "no choice, can't stop / won't stop tenacity I do now. Thank you for these videos. Thank you for walking through the woods and busting your ass and showing "it's ok, fall 795 times, as long as you get up 795 times. Many of us need to hear that and I need to be reminded every once in a while. And thank you for the laughs, you bad ass. -Don
I’m 50 and ride motorcycle, so far fortunate to be un injured. I have a no quit attitude, but haven’t been challenged at the scale yall have been. Y’all are an inspiration that I can always do more, what’s possible. Y’all send a benchmark to strive for with your no quit positive attitude..
Sit down, shut up and take notes kids.. Class is in session.. THIS is what perseverance looks like.. Mad respect and subscriber earned. Edit.. Failed to mention. This is also what true love is. His wife is obviously an angel that truly loves him because she didn’t quit when chips were down and give up on him. He likely wouldn’t be the same man had she not. Both of them schooling us..
I just watched the short with the cowboy boots! You have owned those legs and your life! An inspiration of what is possible no matter the situation. I also love that you have an enormous sense of humor about it. My mother used to say, when there is nothing you can do about it, you can laugh about it! That works, I know it does. I did the same when I went through cancer. I couldn't change what happened, so when all else fails, all that is left is crying or laughing at yourself. I would rather laugh than cry and whine any day!
Well said my friend! Anyone who has gone through a life threatening situation, and grew with gratitude from that situation, will you tell you the exact and thing.... they wouldn't change what happened to them. I had a similar situation when I was 19 years old. It shaped and molded the woman I am today. I wouldn't change it for the world. It led me to be the the person I am today and I am very proud of myself.
I’m divorced after 20 years of marriage. That was 6 years ago and I too say that I would never go back and change the past. I have 3 great kids. I am who I am today because I had to fight for what I know is right and learn to stand up and take care of myself. It’s the first time in my life that I have lived on my own. I am a single mother with the youngest child living with me full time and I can see huge changes in her as well since she has moved in with me. With GOD all things are possible!!
