Overcoming your obstacles to make things possible
Steven Claunch, who was born without fingers on his right hand and with one leg shorter than the other and has excelled in basketball nonetheless, explains why obstacles can provide an opportunity to both inspire others and develop character.
I focus on what I can do, not on what I cannot do. Everybody has obstacles, a disability, or a hurdle. We face a choice. Let the obstacle overcome you or overcome the obstacle. Some of your obstacles are visible, some are less visible. Maybe your obstacle is that you come from a poor neighborhood. Maybe people say you’ll never amount to anything. Prove them wrong. Maybe your obstacle is that you have a learning disability, and people think that you’re dumb. Prove them wrong. People judge you because of the color of your skin, or your family background. Prove them wrong.
