Pain is a universal and personal experience that we will all experience. Even though it is such a common thing, most people don't understand it. Even those that study pain still have so much to learn. In this episode I provide an brief explanation of pain. Understanding pain can have a significant effect on how we perceive and experience pain.
A short while after being paralyzed, I made my way back into the gym. Since I wasnt' able to use my legs, I gravitated to the bench press. There was a lot of uncertainty with my ability, but I set a goal or 275 lbs and pushed forward. Where I ended up at 405 lbs is much further than what I thought I could do and in the process of achieving more, I learned a lot along the way.
This journey we call life will rob you of many things including your happiness, peace, joy, and safety. We lose in life if we sit back and let life take these things from us. Winning in life happens when we decide we want to rob life of its ability to take those things that are important to us.

We often hear labels, or statements, or judgements from others about who we are. If we allow it, those labels can blur our vision of ourselves and who we can be and keep us in a place of losing. To put ourselves in a place where we are winning and moving forward in our lives, we need shed ourselves of the weight of the labels that others put on us and focus on who we want to be ourselves.
Negative feelings that become attached to things we enjoy and love can often lead us to missing out on things that we love and enjoy as we try and hide from negative feelings. What we are willing to miss out on is up to us. We have the power and get to decide whether we will change our perspective and actions to take back those things that we love and enjoy.
Past experiences, negative ideas, or current limitations in one area can cause us to hold ourselves back from what we have the potential to be and do. While we may be limited in some ways, making the most of what we have allows us to move toward where and who we want to be.
