One day life is going to walk up and kick you right in the nuts. For example, I have had several injuries in my athletic career that were supposed to be "career ending" but I pushed through. I have had a business go under that almost ruined me financially, but I started over again and now am in better financial shape than before.

If you think things are tough for you and you want to give up, check out this amazing motivational video of Zach Krych and how he dealt with a potentially career ending injury. Instead of just giving up, listening to the "experts" and being realistic, he chose to be unrealistic and create his own destiny. There is a lesson we can all learn from this.

The first lesson is to not be a wimp. If you want something, don't give up when things get tough or you will never achieve anything.

The second lesson, and one you don't hear of nearly as often, is to be unrealistic. Don't take no for an answer, don't stop when people tell you to pack it in, don't stop pushing. If you want to achieve something great, at some point you are going to have to push past what people consider possible for you and create your own destiny. Forget what other people say is possible and do the impossible. Great people achieve what normal people thought was impossible, and for this their deeds are remembered.
