010 - The Gift Of Adversity, Mental Resilience, Gratitude, And Creating Immediate Perspective with Marcus Aurelius Anderson
Manage episode 200450976 series 1985027
While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. His life was turned upside down, and after dying twice on the operating table, he was told he would never be able to walk or use his hands again. As days quickly turned into months, he was forced into life changing soul searching. He discovered he was left with two choices, he could either be a victim, or he could change his mindset. Having no other option, he began looking for any lessons to be learned from his injury, and soon discovered that his Adversity was a gift.
During his recovery Marcus relied on mental resilience, gratitude, and changing his perspective in order to go from hospital bed to walking again. Within the same week that he began finding things to be grateful for in his situation, movement in his hands returned. Now an author, speaker, and coach, Marcus continues to spread his message that adversity is a gift. He's also a firm believer that adversity is something we need in life to push us forward.
If you're struggling to stick to your goals, can't find positivity in your situation, or just need a friendly reminder on the power of your perspective? Then this interview with Marcus is for you.
