“You can make the choice to either live your life dying, or you can die living.” That was what Andy Campbell said – the guy in this photograph. After being paralyzed in a climbing accident, it’s apparent that he figured out how to live, and to live doing what he loves to do.
I can only imagine the hardship and struggles he went through to get to, literally, the top of this ski run. Being an avid skier myself, I found his message “Die Living” to be incredibly inspiring, both personally and professionally.
It takes grit and determination to try something new, and to stick with it long enough to excel at it. That applies communicating well. It’s feels weird and awkward at first, but with good technique and coaching and practice, it gets easier and better.
Look at Andy Campbell and what he accomplished. What you can’t see in this photo is that he is at the start of a ski cross race, with 3 other guys in ski chairs, all racing the course at the same time!
Wow. Talk about learning something new, and finding the joy in it.
All we’re talking about is standing up and speaking in front of a group of people.
Think we can do it? Of course we can.
“Die Living!”
