Unstoppable
Have you ever felt unlucky or just plain unable to do something because the cards were stacked against you?
Ever hear yourself say “I wish I could but I can’t do THAT because… (yeap, me too). I used to have a long list of excuses on hand …the famous “because” and the long dragged out “why “but what if you could change that inner dialogue to “why not”? The only person stopping you from anything is YOU. Easier said then done until you find the right role model, inspiration, or tools. So allow me to introduce you to Anthony Robles, the Arizona State Senior that won the NCAA Wrestling Championship with a perfect record of 36 to 0 AND he accomplished all of that with only one leg (amongst lots of other hurdles).
He delivered this poem called “Unstoppable” while receiving the prestigious ESPY Jimmy V Perseverance Award this past week- A reminder that YOU (if you choice ) can be UNSTOPPABLE too!
“Every soul who comes to earth
with a leg or two at birth
must wrestle his opponents knowing it’s not what is,
it’s what can be that measures worth.
Make it hard, just make it possible
and through pain I’ll not complain.
My spirit is unconquerable,
fearless I will face each foe, for I know I am capable.
I don’t care what’s probable,
through blood, sweat, and tears, I am unstoppable.”

Always remember, if anyone can…then so can YOU!
