Next time you come up with an excuse as to why you aren't dry firing or working out (or are just putting it off) - maybe you should watch this video.

I have four intact limbs, but can't do a quarter of what this guy can.

Excuse me, I gotta go try and make up some of the lost ground...

There are no excuses - only choices we tell ourselves we didn't make, and wish we hadn't.

Man, this kid is inspirational. Makes my will to suffer seem pretty small and pathetic. Thanks for sharing that, Jake ;)

This is my inspiration...

Tara is a friend of my co-worker. She walked with braces last week. It is strength I cannot begin to fathom.

Thanks for the links Jake and Dave. Both of these two people are inspirations. They both have a drive burning so deep most of us may never fully understand.
