What do you do in life when you toil and seek approval through success and meet rejection and failure in its stead? What do you do when the walls which hem you in seem insurmountably tall and everywhere you look around seems pitch dark and bleak? She was rejected at birth like an incompatible tissue graft by her biological parents and she had no legs. She was blessed beyond compare to be adopted by parents who loved her, brought her up like a child without handicap and taught her never to say can’t, not just by the pronouncements of her lips but by the dedication of her drive. She will force you to rethink the definition of handicap and lend additional credence and evidence to the fact that some of the most handicap people walk around in perfect bodies, while some of the least handicap people may have no limbs, but have super mental fortitude with impregnable and laser focused determination to transform tall walls of limitation into pearl gates of miraculous opportunity. Jennifer Bricker makes trail blazing opportunity where excuses to fail hang from every side and mocks the obstacles of life with infectious positivity. What is your excuse today? She is in every sense a champion in her own right like Oprah Winfrey and a host of others.
There is a French expression which says "les chiens aboient, la caravane passe" literally meaning "The dogs bark, but the caravan goes by". It is full of symbolic truth... Let the dogs keep barking, let the obstacles keep trying to stop you, let the naysayers keep busy, let people say what they will... you have only one business, one focus, one concern, let the largely symbolic caravan go on.
Let this 4 minute video inspire you like it inspired me.
