This episode:

The doctors told me like you’re probably never going to be able to walk again because the heel bone actually fell out during the accident, that’s how open the wound was. And I just remember not believing them for a second. I was like, yeah, that’s not going to happen. Now. It wasn’t the power of mindset then, it was being 16 and being like, I’m not going to be on crutches. It just was a vanity thing; I have to admit. I don’t know who I would have been, I just know that I am thankful for all that stuff that I’ve been through. and to anybody listening to this who has a story, to me. it’s like if I catch myself in victim mentality, if I live in that saying, ‘well that happened to me when the war happened and then I lost this’ and I’m giving too much power to those people and those events. And to me, I’m not doing that in this lifetime.
