The guy is a legend. There are very few peaple that meet him that he doesn't get a smile out of. Very few walk away without giving him a hug, and almost no one walks away without learning something.

I actually think this guy leads a better life than most non-handicapped people. A true inspiration!

This reminds me A LOT of when I was going through crippling anxiety.
At the time, I honestly would have preferred to have been physically handicapped and mentally healthy, rather than being a constant, mental wreck from the time I woke up to the time I slept.
It probably sounds pretty retarded to most people, but the anxiety problems I went through even make me appreciate just being able to walk out the front door of my house so much.
I fucking hate all those whiny, emo faggots that are born in well off middle class complain about how hard their life is.
FUCK YOU, YOU LITTLE CUNTS.
I was born into a working class family and I still am working class.
I don't own a lot of material possessions compared to the spoilt rotten middle class emo fucks, but I've got good mental health, good physical health, great friends and lots of things to look forward too.
Yeah shit could be improved no matter what the circumstance, but really if you have the money to eat well each, have a roof over your head, have great friend and good mental/physical health, just shut the fuck up about your emo whiny shit problems, because those are some of the best things you can have in life.

Fuck me... yeh, cried... shit, that IS inspiration in a nutshell! His point is so simple, but so many people avoid the truth or just can't dig deep enough to see it.
Be happy, because you have and always will, have more than you don't. There wil always be good times to have in one way or another, and when those times aren't so good, he summed it up wonderfully with the storm quote.
Blah! People like him make me smile so broadly! My utmost respect goes to him!

Amazing for sure.. i didnt cry, but then again, i do live around people that has been through the same mindset as he has:
My brother has cerebral palsy, my dad lost his right hand as a 19 year old, my mom had a stroke, and i my self got diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome ~5 years ago(Ive had huge issues at school my entire life.).
One of my old classmates got run over by a train, and lost both of his legs and one arm(He was one of Swedens most promising swimmers.).. and i never see him without a smile on his face.
Personally, i wish i could turn my mind over and say "hey, im happy".. but i would like to say that im a realist(Neither pessimist or optimist.), and it makes it so hard for me to ignore the negatives and just see the positives.
I am currently working hard on focusing on the positive things, and while i cant say that im a bright and happy guy, im at least HAPPIER.
What i have learned from my brother is that you cant give up with anything EVER.. dare to challenge your self every day, and try to be as happy as possible.
Seriously, just trying to be happy makes everything a little bit brighter.

His work as a public speaker encouraged the creation of this short film, which won at last year's Doorpost Film Festival.

The fact that you have to insult other people just to emphasize your own situation shows that you aren't really that healthy.
I think you'd be much happier if you could just worry about youself and your own situation and just be happy about that, instead of insulting other people out of nowhere
btw, great video

Damn Christians!
Gotta say, I didn't feel any better about my life. Even with all the BS that happens and my current anxiety issues I'm still a happy person. I love life. That's not to take anything away from the dude in the vid. I totally understand and respect his views. I agree.

As i am currently helping my parents out financially, and come from the lower working class, and i have to say that you have issues.
I have passed out in school from anxiety attacks, but i wouldnt blame that on people that have a better life then me.
And those people you are bashing probably are well aware that they dont have the same kind of problems that you(or "we") do.. but that doesnt make their problems any less of a problem.
You seem to have missed the point of this video entirely.. its all about acceptance, which you seem to lack.
Not to pick on Harry, because he has helped me out and is generally a good guy to have around the forums, but I'm gonna have to agree with Notuern.
I feel like everyone's problems are pretty much relative to themselves.
for example, the mere fact we are on the internet(most likely with full bellies, by the way) right now whereas a child in africa is crying, worrying if he is going to die because he hasn't eaten in two weeks and he doesn't know when or if his next meal is coming.
I would like to see what his response to any of our problems would be. He would probably think anything we perceive as a problem is as ridiculous as I would think it is when Paris Hilton is crying that she can't get the latest and greatest vaginal re-tightening surgery or whatever.

Exactly. The fact that someone somewhere is worse off doesn't make pain any less real.[UEAK]Clowd;9088740 said:

Just watched this video, I'm really surprised at how positive me manages to be even though he has no arms and legs, but it really doesn't give me any hope. I don't like to be optimistic about much, every time I am, I just get disappointed. I have had a few times when I've passed out, probably because of panic attacks, and I'm not exactly the most social motherfucker out there. My mood is just unrelentingly pessimistic. But watching him be that positive is pretty inspirational, most fucking panseys wouldn't be able to cope with losing a leg, let alone not having any legs or arms, so this dude is pretty awesome

I guess he nailed something : most people in his case would feel bad because they would think "I am not like the others" because "I cannot do this and cannot do that". He cannot reach an object put at 5 feet ? Well, we cannot reach an object put at 10 feet. The problem is just moved. We are not complaining we don't have a 3rd arm to do more complicated stuff. He sort of makes everything relative and say that it's not because you cannot do what every one do that your life will suck.
