Heard about Mark Inglis? Mark is a mountaineer whose legs got severely frost-bitten and was amputated from below the knees in November 1982 when he got stuck in an ice cave on Aoraki/Mount Cook for 13 days due to an intense blizzard.
May 15, 2006 Mark became the first double amputee to climb Mount Everest. He and his wife Anne started a charity called 'Limbs for all' helping some 400 million disabled people around the globe. Mark is also a motivational speaker.
Mark's story is so inspiring, not only to the people who are disabled but to each and everyone, motivating us to be courageous and live our life to the fullest no matter what.
Of course you don't have to climb Mount Everest to be courageous, that was his passion. But be brave to follow your heart. Giving up when you encounter an obstacle only shows that you didn't want it enough. There should never be any fear of failing, failure is only a state of mind.
"And one has to understand that being brave is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear."
— Paulo Coelho
