Rabid Wolverine
January 12, 2008
I was inspired by a young man in junior high school who is missing most of each of his arms and legs, yet he is an amateur wrestler. He weighs 103 pounds and trains his tail off like a rabid wolverine. When asked what he wanted from life he stated that he would like to go to a small college, maybe wrestle at a division 2/3 school, have a family, have some money and spread the word of God. Never once did he say anything about wanting his legs and arms back. And to top that statement off, which knocked me down even more notches, he said and I quote, "IT COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE." He then went on to say how a person could be blind or bed ridden and all he wanted was to be looked at like everyone else. “If you take it easy on me, then you will be in for a big surprise on that mat” he said.
It made me think of how lucky I am and how at times I take so many things for granted. Sometimes we complain about the smallest things, yet here is a young man that is missing large portions of each limb, yet he still feels things could be worse. WOW … if that doesn’t teach you about attitude and determination, then I don't know what will. He has helped me look at my way of thinking on a whole different level and doesn’t even know it.
