This YouTube video has been floating around lately -- it's been emailed to me, posted on Facebook, and talked about at work. It really is impressive how this man, Arthur, has managed to change around his life simply by changing his mindset and committing to a yoga practice. If you haven't seen the video, take a second to watch it.
Arthur, a disabled veteran, said that he had essentially "given up" since he couldn't walk or run and many other yoga instructors turned him around. As you can see from the video, he worked extremely hard and, most importantly, didn't give up.
Arthur's story is inspiring because it shows that anybody, regardless of fitness level, age, weight, or any factor, can benefit from a consistent yoga practice. He was able to lose the excess weight (over 100 pounds!), begin walking again, and, by the end of the video, even run. More importantly, his mindset completely changed! He went from hopeless to full of hope.
If you are ever feeling discouraged, whether it's with yoga, meditation, or any aspect of your life, remember what Arthur said -- "Just because I can't do it today, doesn't mean I won't be able to do it someday." No matter what you are struggling with, don't give up! With enough hard work, you will absolutely be able to accomplish it one day.
