Yesterday I went to the gym. I didn't really do much. That's to be honest. Reason being was because I met my church friend and were gossiping hahaha. But then I did work out though. It was good to catch up with her because she is my gym buddy. Anyways, yesterday was such an eye-opener day for me and here is the reason why ...

I just got done doing a chest work out. So I was just standing and catching my breath. Then a man walked in, he was limping. Then I realised, one of his leg was metal. Suddenly I was just in tears. I was overly touched by how strong he was, knowing he has lost his leg. He came around to me and he started asking my name. We spoke a bit. He said to me "let me know if you need anything, give me a yell". I froze. I was in disbelief that he was so caring towards me. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Later on I was told he was a paralympic athlete. Paralympics is like Olympics but Paralympics are for athletes that has got disabilities. On top of that, he has done his honours degrees in the top university in Sydney PLUS he also trains other paralympic athletes.

I am deeply amazed at his strong will on working out. What made me embarassed is, I am far more perfect compared to him. I have both legs, both arms, both hands,... yet half the time I complain at how my image is. Face it, we humans always complain and want better things. It is not until you meet someone like this amazing man, who has lost his leg, yet he still smiles widely and thinks he is just the same as you and I. He truly is way beyond amazing. I am so blessed and thankful to have met him. He made me realise how life is wonderful if you see it positively. What made my jaw dropped was that he was training as hard as the other guys at the gym. I'm talking about heavy weight training, lifting heavy weights and all that hardcore things. He truly is my inspiration and he should be yours as well. Be thankful that you have been blessed with not having any disabilities. Doesn't it make you feel embarassed that someone like him could live such a happy life yet you still can complain about the little things in life? 

Reflect on what I just blogged. Count your blessings not your problems.

God bless you all. God bless you Tod (that's his name).
