To overcome challenges, stop comparing yourself to others - Dean Furness

When we are young with our height and weight, as we grow it becomes our speed and our strength. It seems as if personal averages is almost always used to measure who we are in comparison to our peers. Everybody has their own abilities. So it depends on the person's mindset. If you can focus on that and work to build that you will start to accomplish some really amazing things. 

Mr. Dean Furnes, the speaker in this video, had an accident in 2011, and it cursed him to be in a wheelchair since then. Doctors said he will never walk again. Since then he realized everything that he learned and had known about his height , his strength, balance and mobility are no no valid now. He felt that his personal average had been reset. That time he was being measured more than ever. He became very frustrated. Then he realized he needed to forget about the person he was before and things that he did before. Few weeks later he was transferred to a specialty spinal cord rehab hospital. There he realized he never had a bad day. We can decide what's good or bad. He realized the quicker you move on to what’s next quicker you can attack fast things. So he could quake move on from the bad scenarios and have more time for the good. So he realized what his average day by day was. 

In 2016 he participated in a marathon after practice everyday and he found his real average now. He built it as much as he could. He is working really hard every day to be better. He never quit his journey after the incident. He found who he is now. Since then he participated 7 marathon.

Everyone should take a time and focus on you inserted of others.
