Sometimes I run across a video that I feel compelled to share with my faithful blog readers, thus becoming the topic and focus of the day.
I saw the following video of Amy Purdy, who lost both legs as a young woman. Instead of defining her life in a negative way, she has managed to not only overcome the obstacles, but has succeeded beyond even her wildest dreams.
Personally, I have had a few challenging weeks at work. The natural tendency is to narrow your focus and hone in on your own mountains, climbing them and getting wrapped up in your own troubles. That’s what I did.
What a wake-up call young Amy provided to me.
The holiday season is beautiful and wonderful, but it can also be hectic, stressful and somewhat sad if you have recently lost a loved one or are going through a particularly tough time. The Christmas season can magnify the areas that may be lacking in your life.
If so, this is for you. May it be the inspiration to you that is has been for me:

Wow.
Wise beyond her years—and someone to think of whenever we run into seemingly insurmountable challenges. Whatever they are, Amy may have you beat—and her story will hopefully continue to inspire you.
Merry Christmas!
