The importance of having goals in life. | Christian Troger | TEDxLend

Event Theme: Beginner's Mind.
Born without left leg and without left acetabulum, Christian Troger would never be able to walk. At the age of 14 months fortunately he provided rebuttal of these opinions. Until his mid-twenties he lived an unhealthy life, heavy smoker, didn’t skip any party, he was just before the complete personal and economical collapse. Christian lost his footing and wandered around aimlessly. Not a moment too soon, he recognized, that only he alone is responsible for his life. In this talk he shows the importance of having clear goals and which factors are helping to achieve one’s goal. Furthermore he gives impetus on how to deal with difficulties, obstacles, fears and defeats. Born without left leg and without left acetabulum, Christian Troger would never be able to walk.

“Because without this clear picture in my mind. The ironman would have been over for me at least 20km before the finish line”.
Very inspiring! This is why we should have goals. It helps us to not quit and keep on putting in effort until we get the picture we have in our mind. Amazing!
