Today, tell a true story, and if you are stumped by the moment, be sure to listen to it.
Travis Mills, a former noncommissioned officer in the United States Army. In 2012, he lost his limbs when he was hit by a car bomb on a mission in Afghanistan.
When he woke up from his hospital bed, unable to accept his current situation, he was in pain and kept asking himself three questions.
"Why did this happen to me?"
"Am I a bad person? Does God really hate me? ”
"Why don't you just let me die?"
With a dead heart, he decided to give up on himself and "showdown" with his wife: "Take the car and the house, take all the savings, and leave with our daughter, this is not the life I want to give you." ”
This year, he is 25 years old, his wife is 23 years old, and his daughter is just over 6 months old.
His wife did not choose to leave and decided to get through the difficult time with him.
With his wife and daughter by his side, Mills regained the motivation to live. He knew that as a person whose limbs had been amputated, it would be difficult to return to a normal life even if he tried.
But he wants to be the guardian of his lover and daughter, determined to do what others think is impossible, no matter how much cost and physical pain he suffers.
He put on a prosthetic leg, started with simple things, fed himself with "hands", and then began to stand up and walk, and every training was a huge torture for the body, but he survived with tenacious perseverance.
In the end, he worked wonders by not only being able to take care of his own life independently, but also skydiving, skiing, biking and kayaking.
Mills' success sums up two key points.
1. Don't live in the past, because the past cannot be changed.
2. Can't control their situation, but can control their attitude.
In the best of years, after losing limbs and suddenly taking away the qualifications to live a normal life, imagine what would happen to you if you happened to Mills.
Don't rush to say the answer first, and then ask yourself, now that the epidemic is frequent and the environment is coming, do you always complain about the hardship of life, anxious about where to go now and in the future.
And Millsby, life hasn't treated you like much, it's just a little harder, you are bitter all day, is it pretentious?
We keep our eyes on what we lose, like decent jobs, decent income, while ignoring what we have, like healthy health, family support.
We always live in the past, constantly paralyzing ourselves, hoping that none of this has happened now. Life is not so difficult, but blindly avoids reality and makes himself miserable.
Mills says you can control your attitude when you can't control your situation. From today on, look at yourself in the mirror every day and say, "Hey, everything will be fine!" ”
In adversity, the attitude of living in the moment allows people to quickly get out of the past and focus on the valuable things of the moment, and after a long time, life will naturally get better.
Give a thumbs up together and encourage yourself in the face of adversity
