Aimee Mullins: The opportunity of adversity

“Maybe that’s what adversity gives us – a sense of self. A sense of our own power.” – Aimee Mullins

I urge you to take twenty minutes to watch this very inspiring speech by Aimee Mullins, who was born without shinbones and shows how this challenge opened the door to her own potential. It’s a long video as far as internet viewing goes, but it’s well worth it. As you watch, ask yourself what kind of words you’ve been using to define yourself.
