Become unstoppable. 2 amazing life stories that will show you how.

What is currently stopping you from achieving anything you've always wanted?

I feel your pain. I know you want to do more and accomplish more in life. You want to live your full potential. You don’t want to die with regrets, as Les Brown said

But you don't know how you can become that person you've always thought you can be. You don't have time now. You are already so busy trying to get by every day. Or you think that you don't have enough skills. That there is no way you can compete with all talented people out there. Or you don't have money.

But would you reconsider your position on this if you know that you can accomplish anything you want in life?

May be you'll finally finish that book you started a few years back. May be you'll consider going back to school, which you've always wanted but did not think you could do. May be you will find the courage to start your own business.

There are so many things you can accomplish in your life. You don't need more time. Bill Gates gets the same amount of time as you and me, 24 hours a day. No more, no less. You don't need more skills. Where you're at today is enough to start for now.

All you have to do is to act today. Take that first step towards accomplishing your dreams.

But I don't want to just say that you can do it. I know you've already heard many motivational speeches that left you super pumped in the beginning, but wouldn't change your life. I don't want to tell you empty words. So instead of that, I will leave the amazing stories of 3 people show you how you too can become great, my friend.

I know what you're thinking. "Oh, an iron lady, she must have a super power". But no, she doesn't have an Arc Reactor. She doesn't fly, nor shoot rays from her palms. But Muniba Mazari is more than that.

Her sad story started when she had to marry someone chosen by her parents, at the tender age of 18. Three years into the marriage, she and her then-husband had a tragic car accident. They both survived. But Mazari sustained multiple injuries that would change her life forever. Her backbone was crushed, she had multiple fractures in her arms, collar bone, rib cage, and shoulder.

While under treatment, she received even more devastating news. Her doctor said that she could not paint anymore due to the injuries on her hands and shoulder. And then came another shocking news when she was told she won't be able to walk again, for the rest of her life. And final straw was when her doctor said that she won't be able to give birth to a child, which according to her was the most painful news of them all.

Imagine being at the age of 21 and hearing all these terrible news. Mazari was left discouraged. But she didn't give up.

She started to take action one day at a time and decided to live a great life, fighting through her fears, despite her circumstances.

While confined to her bed, she started painting with her painful fingers and shoulder. She decided her life won't be restrained by the wheelchair she's bound to use every day. So, she started appearing more in public. She worked on modeling campaigns for Toni&Guy, being the first model on a wheelchair. She started public speaking by sharing her story to teach young people about resilience.

In 2015, she was named one of British Broadcasting Corporation's 100 Most Inspirational Women.

The accomplishment she's felt most proud of is when she was able to adopt a young boy. Becoming a mother was to Mazari the most fulfilling dream.

And remember that:

If you are familiar with the blogging world, then you must have heard of Jon Morrow, to say the least. He is one of the most famous and successful bloggers in the entire world. He lives an amazing life.

He started, developed and sold multiple blogs that made him millions of dollars. Yes, you heard that right. He is his own boss, works wherever and whenever he wants to.

And the most amazing part is:

Yes, the only body parts that Jon can move are his eyes and lips.

"That's impossible," you must be saying.

Well, let me tell you his story.

When Jon was a baby, he was diagnosed with a genetic defect called Spinal Muscular Atrophy that paralyzed him from the neck down. His doctors gave him two years to live before succumbing to pneumonia and weakness.

Against all odds, he survived, but not easily. He had to rely on Medicaid to pay for his frequent hospital visits. The U.S. government paid $120,000 per year for his doctors, caregivers, medicines, etc.

The tricky part is that he would lose all his coverage should he make more than $700 a month. But Jon had ambitions for his life. Just like any young person with a college degree, he wanted to be rich and not dependent on the government.

Yet, he was forced to choose between his life or his wealth. He has to remain poor his entire life in order to keep receiving care.

But Jon believed he can have both, despite his circumstances.

So the first step he took was to work for free for an online magazine called Copyblogger to develop his blogging skills and forge networks with other bloggers. His second step was to build his consultancy agency to earn more money. When he realized he was able to make $10,000 a month from his agency, he moved to Mexico where he was able to reduce his healthcare expenses from $120,000 to $18,000 a year, and avoid being dependent to Medicaid. And the rest is history, as they say.

When you feel like the world is against you, that you're in a hopeless situation where you can't win, change the rules in your favor. As Jon showed you, there's always a way to accomplish your goal and ambition in life.
