Overcoming Adversity

If you're going through a challenge right now, this might help.  We all have challenges, some small and some big.  Where do you get the inspiration to conquer your challenge? This is a pretty amazing story:

In 2016, Chris Shively Layne fell after only seven steps as she hiked in Clear Creek Canyon and she fell 80 feet.  When she awoke after losing consciousness, she found out she was paralyzed from her waist down.  This is a picture of her this month at 53 years old reaching the peak of Mount Elbert, Colorado's highest peak.

It took 51 volunteers and a one-wheel mobility device for her to reach the peak at 14,438 feet.  The Lockwood Foundation is a non-profit that helps people with mobility issues climb mountains. Layne said, "I got to be on top of the world again-I thought I'd never hike again."

Whatever your challenge might be, most likely you won't need 51 people to help you. It's important to remember that we each have unlimited potential and sometimes are abilities are at full strength when we ask someone else for help.
