A few days ago, Marie's parents sent a link to the video, below. The young man featured is Richie Parker, and if you don't know his story - I urge you to take a look...
For all the obvious and way-too-sentimental reasons, this story inspires me.
Of course it does.
Richie went on to create resounding success doing what made him happy.
And that's the point: He went after the opportunities he wanted, not the limitations he was handed. Not the expectations others placed upon him, believing him to be as limited as their perception of his situation.
And thank goodness. Look at him now!
Imagine the life he would have had if Richie hadn't been encouraged to seek his own fulfillment.
Everyone should want Anyone to be happy and fulfilled in this short and clumsy life.
After all - every good soul in this world is, to some extent fighting ... just to live.
(( You are too. ))
So cheer on each person you meet, please. Let your story inspire anyone it might.
Reach out in love and humble empathy - giving yourself and others a helping hand.

" Despite limitations some people expected Parker would face, he pursued his passion for cars and landed a job at Hendrick Motorsports, which “has earned a record 10 car owner championships in NASCAR’s premier division, the Sprint Cup Series,” according to hendrickmotorsports.com. "
“I don’t know if there’s a whole lot in life period that I can say that I can’t do — just things that I haven’t done yet.” - R. Parker
