You got this! A positive mindset is all it takes. I know you can do it, because I’ve done it myself. Through every single speed bump, mindset has been the most important thing. Every time I was afraid before a surgery, my wife and I talked about how this was just the next step in my recovery. A positive mindset will get you through anything, even a literal shattered body.Įvery time I took a painful step, I reminded myself that this was one more step toward a healthy body. Through all of that adversity, the only thing that kept me going was having a positive mindset. In the past 3 years I’ve had 7 surgeries, hundreds of doctor’s appointments, several thousand painkillers and many therapy visits. This is a day I never thought would come, and now I’ve lived it and it’s over. You’re Stronger Than You Think practically brings us face-to-face with truth, and what happens is what God promises: freedom Freedom to clear our minds, own our weaknesses, and find His totally sufficient strength. Today I got to go outside and run around for the first time in 3 years. Today, almost 3 years later, I woke up to a day just as beautiful as that day in May, 2018. I ended up getting a total blood transfusion and staying in the hospital for 2 weeks. My left leg was cut and I was losing blood quickly. The impact shattered my left leg, broke 9 ribs, and punctured both of my lungs. I was struck by an SUV at 45 miles an hour. I should never have ridden in that type of weather and I’ll always remember the multiple chances I had to stop and wait out the rain. Maybe you’re dealing with something right now that seems too big to handle. We can use emotional strength, mental strength, and greater ability to handle life’s problems and unpredictable situations. The evening brought sheets of rain and winds that nearly pushed my bike off the road. I think every single one of us can use more strength in life. The beauty of that day was flipped on its head. I took the highway to and from work, though, and refused to do that. You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day, and I was tempted to ride without a helmet. May 18th, 2018 was a beautiful, sunny day.
