Walking, running, swimming, just standing up. Things most of us take for granted. But what if those luxuries were taken away from you? How would you respond, what would be your mindset, how would you live your life? Would you find purpose or would stew in misery as a victim of fate.
For Joe Guintu these were the questions he had to answer as a young man after a beautiful day learning to surf. There was no spectacular accident, but Joe suffered a rare spinal cord injury and within 7 hours of the surf lesson he was paralyzed, something that has stayed with him to this day.
What makes Joe’s story so inspiring is the way in which he has tackled life over the last 16 years. He is chasing his dreams and making an impact on this world. He has also crafted a mindset that doesn’t allow the disability to put limitations on what he can and can’t do.
As you listen to the conversation, consider three questions:
- What are you grateful for that you take for granted?
- How are you allowing the hard things in your life impact the way you treat others?
- How are you really showing up for that person who needs help?
