AMY "STRONG DAY" PURDY: LIVING BEYOND LIMITS.
Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 2:27PM Boy, this was a good one.
via TED.com: Amy Purdy became a professional snowboarder despite losing both her legs to meningitis. She encourages us to take control of our lives, and our limits.
"That's when it dawned on me, I didn't have to be 5'5" anymore, I could be as tall as I wanted! ... or as short as I wanted. Depending on who I was dating." -Amy Purdy
Well played, Amy.
"If your life were a book, and you were the author, how would you want the story to go?"
"Our borders and our obstacles can only do two things:
One, stop us in our tracks.
Two, force us to get creative."
"My legs haven't disabled me, they've enabled me.
They've forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in the possibilities."
"It's not about breaking down borders, it's about pushing off of them and seeing what amazing places they might bring us"
