Helping others, the opportunity to teach somebody something, and of course my children

What things give you energy?

Lots of people that get the opportunity to experience life on two feet and be a completely able-bodied person, break their neck/back, and suddenly can’t… Well, they become a paraplegic or a quadriplegic and suddenly give up on life. Not me, Life’s Too Short enjoy it while you got it! You never know when your last breath will be!

I’m constantly going, whether I’m doing stuff for my kids, helping some lady out, a brother, going on a pointless meaningless Drive just to see the views, or taking the time to stop and show somebody, walk them through how to do something… I want to experience life and I will be damned if my broken neck is going to get me down or cause me to just sit around and wither inside my house or some other place.

Don’t get me wrong, the first couple years after I broke my neck, I was pretty messed up. But, as soon as I got out of the hospital from recovery after surgery and stuff 6 months after breaking my neck, I was ready to get out and do stuff and we were constantly gone away from the house going on walks and everything even though we didn’t have a vehicle to get me around at the time.

I love sharing what I know and if I don’t know I love to learn, I love helping people, and I love love love being a dad and doing things for and with my children. I rarely tell them no. All of those things just fire me up and motivate me to the fullest extent. If I don’t have a reason to go do something and nobody needs something I find a reason and I go or we go!

So for anybody that may be struggling, having a hard time, behind on Bills lost your job, whatever it may be. Take an hour or two to just go do something that normally puts a smile on your face and do it regularly at least once a day. Positivity helps the body and mind and I’m convinced, even though it doesn’t fix things overnight, I’m convinced it makes things go from lows to highs much quicker. If it doesn’t, it definitely makes the bad times not seem as bad! So get out there and live at your life!
