A True Example of Resilience
We’re often knocked down by a slight setback. When something bad happens to us, we get lost in it, forgetting all our goals and plans. We just keep dwelling on it and blaming it.
But those who truly want to succeed or do something meaningful never give up, no matter how many setbacks block their way.
And there is not just one but many individuals who have turned resilience into an act of bravery, not merely a word in the dictionary.
Today, I want to express my gratitude to the late Richard Leakey for his courage, resilience, and attitude toward life — qualities we all must emulate.
Richard Leakey was involved in a deadly crash in 1993, resulting in the loss of both his legs. But the good things he had planned for his life never lost their focus. He went on to do remarkable work and became a prominent figure in history — a person who could never be defeated.
Imagine you’ve planned a beautiful goal in your life, and then you face a setback. However, this setback is nowhere near the challenges Richard Leakey encountered.
So never, ever think that anything can defeat your goal to live a wonderful life.
When you’re stuck somewhere, just remember Richard Leakey and how he turned his life around after a brutal crash.
So get up and do something for yourself that ignites your passion.
