Overcoming your limitations and being a success

Today’s story is about a blind and disabled biker. His name is Stuart Gunn and he is blind (oops, I already said that) and he has broken the record at 167mph on a bike making him the world’s fastest blind and disabled biker.

How was this even possible? His father Geoff rides alongside him and uses an intercom system to tell him if he is drifting off course. Make no mistake about this; Stuart is no new comer to accidents. 11 years ago he had an accident that broke his back in 2 places, shattered his ribs and shoulder plus he was paralysed in the right side of his body but he fought to regain control of his right arm and eventually was able to climb his bike.

He says “I hope this proves to people that just because you are blind or have a disability doesn’t mean it should change or limit your life”

I am not advocating trying something that dangerous but take lessons from this, life is not always fair and will not always present us with equal opportunities as other people but what you make of the little you have is what matters and not how many times you put yourself down and limit yourself or compare yourself pitifully with the next man.
