A friend of mine sent me the link to this amazing video and specifically asked me to share it with all my subscribers and readers of this blog. I am sure you have seen This video in this past??¦
The first time I saw this..I had to see it the second time..then the third time and on and on.. There is a lot that can be learnt from this video.
What is this video about?….Well it is about a young boy named Jason McElwain.
As you see this video??¦ I??™d like to ask you to really think about what he??™s gone through in his life ??“he??™s handicapped, he??™s not able to do things the other kids do.
Everybody had their little box; their little box into which they put their preconceived idea of what ason was capable of and what Jason could be. And maybe sometimes we all feel like we??™re in that little box. Maybe sometimes we all get pigeon??“holed or typecast or put down a path that we didn??™t choose. Maybe that??™s why you found your way here to us and to this newsletter; because you didn??™t feel that the box that other people had come up with really represented you or what you are capable of becoming. You didn??™t feel that that box was fair. And that??™s what I??™d really like for you to think about today, Readers, because
Jason McElwain taught me something and I am sure he will teach you something. What Jason has taught me is there are no preconceptions, there is nothing called typecasting and there are no opinions that can ever change who you are. Those are other people??™s thoughts, other people??™s errors. And if you have it within you ??“ if you have the talent, or the dream, or the desire, or the smarts, or the capability ??“ if you have it within you, other people??™s words are just smoke drifting by in the mid??“day breeze. They can??™t change you or stop you. The lesson of Jason McElwain is that there is nothing stopping you; there is nothing that can hold you back; there is nothing that you can??™t achieve if only you know you can achieve it. So please, Readers, let??™s be humble.
Let??™s be humble today and learn from Jason McElwain.
