[English]

Oh I

Wasn't ready!

I

Have no arms and our legs, but I'm very thankful that I have a little chicken drumstick here

People freak out when they see you for the first time it's so cool

I was at a water slide all by myself

everyone obviously at the bottom of the slide, they're looking up waiting for other people to come down and here I come

They're freaking out. They're like... yeah, like this, and I was so tempted to look at myself and go, 'What happened?!'

There were times where I sort of looked at my life and thinking well, I can't do this, and I can't do that and you

keep on concentrating on the things that you wish you had, or the things that you wish you didn't have and

You sort of forget what you do have. And there's no point

I believe in my life where I wish I had arms and legs

I wish had arms and legs, I wish I had arms and legs because wishing won't help, but

What I've seen in life are just a couple key principles the first thing that I've seen is to be thankful

It's hard to be thankful man. I tell you when I was eight years old

I I sort of summed up my life, and thought I'm never gonna get married up. You know. I'm not gonna have a job

I'm not gonna have a life of purpose

What kind of a husband am I gonna be if I can't even hold my wife's hand

It's a lie to think that you're not good enough. It's a lie to think that you're not worth anything

Wow

It's freezing! I can't feel my hands!

I love life

You know so many people come and say how come you smile so much and I'm like well

It's it's a long story

But it's very simple at the same time you see it's very hard to smile sometimes in life

There are things that happen that you don't know and you don't understand, and you don't know if you're gonna get through it

You know you go through your storms in life, and you don't know how long the storm is going to be and today

I want to share with you some principles that I've learnt in my life that you can use in yours

Being patient is beautiful I tell you it's the hardest thing

But I realized I may not have hands to hold my wife's hand

but when the time comes

I'll be able to hold her heart.

I don't need hands to hold her heart.

You know it is scary to know how many girls have eating disorders

It is scary to know how many people are just angry at life because of their situation at home and angry at others

It's scary to know how many people actually feel like they're worth nothing

Every single girl right here right now. I want you to know that you

You are gorgeous just the way you are and you boys -

you da man!

On this DVD I share my experiences in life of half overcome challenges and

Seen a new fresh perspective in life to be thankful to dream big and to never give up I speak to children youth and adults

About key issues and principles that I've applied in my life that has given me the strength to conquer all that comes before me

...

You
