A No Excuses Special: Gwen van Rosmalen- Life Won't Wait

During my copious amounts of Youtubing today, I came across this video, and needless to say I was completely blown away by the transcendent, never say die spirit of this inspirational woman.

Many people give up on their goals when the first obstacle gets in their way.

Gwen had a stroke at the age of 28, and then after the subsequent recovery process, was hit by a truck driver who wasn't paying attention to the road, leaving her paralysed from the waste down.

Has this stopped her setting and achieving goals?
Does she face a dark and depressed future?
Has life beaten her?

Of course not!

"If you want things to happen you have to make them happen by yourself" Gwen van Rosmalen

I hope this goes to show you just how powerful the human mind is. Nothing, absolutely nothing has to stop you from training, improving, setting goals and achieving your dreams.

You must start the process, it will be a long and hard road to get anywhere near attaining the goals you want, but work for them like you have worked for nothing before, embrace the blood, sweat and tears and remember there is absolutely no reason why you can't achieve anything you want.

"Believe in yourself, follow your heart and never give up!" Gwen van Rosmalen

No excuses!
