Check out this MEGA-INSPIRING VIDEO!
It’s about a High school kid named Dustin Carter who had both of his arms and legs amputated when he was ten.
Did that stop him from joining his high school wrestling team?
Not only did it not stop him, but be had so may wins that he went to the State Championship (and almost won the whole thing)
No Arms, No Legs… All HEART! Who says you CAN’T!
What you “can” and “Can’t” do is 99.9% a matter of mindset.
And “perspective” is one of the most powerful mindset tools there is.
Perspective is when you are able to compare what you are experiencing, to something you’ve experienced in the past.
Here’s a few examples…
Have you ever swang two baseball bats, then dropped the second bat, and the first bat felt super light?
Have you ever went to the movies in the daytime, and after sitting in the dark theater, when you went outside it seemed 10x’s brighter?
Have you ever ran on a treadmill and covered the time display, and when you were super tired you moved the towel to check the time, only to discover that you had only a few minutes left – not the long time that you thought you did – Then suddenly, you have a boost of energy because you know you’re almost done?
Have you ever had to do something that seemed really difficult, but then you saw someone way less talented than you EASILY do it, then suddenly it didn’t seem so hard?
If you answered YES, then you’ve experienced the POWER of PERSPECTIVE.
So let’s take a lesson from Dustin’s “never say can’t” attitude and apply it to our boot camp marketing…
And whenever you feel a little discouraged, and want to throw in the towel, and say the words “I can’t”
Ask yourself, what would Dustin do?
Did you like this post?
Did you get inspired?
It gave me goose bumps, and I’ll say it… I cried a little bit. (Hey don’t judge me 
)
Steve, thanks for the inspiration. It is a matter of what you believe in and what you truly want. If you seriously want something, you will always find a way to achieve it.
Nothing can stand in the way of determination!
Also, cheers for the chat the other day, it was a reality check I needed to realise my mistakes and to take charge of the solution.

Thanks Steve-
Really makes you put things in perspective! As you know I am about to break

help and motivation over the last few months.

This really puts things into perspective. Fear of the unknown has a way of controling your actions and with your inspiration over this past year I have learned to get in the right mindset and take massive action. My mantra is “you are only limited by your fears and inaction.”
Keep it coming Steve!
