We just finished watching a Netflix film entitled, “Rising Phoenix.”
It is the incredible story of those born without limbs who go on to participate as a Paralympian.
A man born without arms wins a silver medal in archery at the Rio Olympics. He loads the arrow into the bow with the toes on his left foot and aims and triggers the bow with his right foot.
Each athlete in the film has a personal story of coping with and overcoming terrible handicaps along the winding path to victory witnessed by millions around the world.
While watching the film, I asked myself, “So, what do you have to complain about?”
A happy life must be lived with perspective!
Despite our day-to-day difficulties, we must live with gratitude for the many blessings that have come our way.
This blog is now on LinkedIn and Facebook. I got a message from a man living in Uganda.
I asked him how his life is going and he replied, “I thank God for my life, but we have no food!”
Count your blessings!!!!
