Do you see adversity as a gift? Do you feel adversity is important to success? Marcus Aurelius Anderson has overcome extreme adversity, including paralyzation and death. Learning to turn into success has reshaped his entire life.
Too often, we let setbacks be our stopping point. In reality, most of the adversities we face are not life-altering. That is not the case for my guest this week.
While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus Aurelius Anderson suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. His life turned upside down. After dying twice on the operating table, he was told he would never be able to walk or use his hands again.
Days quickly turned into months, and he was forced into life-changing soul searching. He had two choices. Either be a victim or change his mindset. Having no other option, he looked for any lessons to be learned from his injury. Marcus soon discovered that his Adversity was a gift.
Today, Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires and coaches others to overcome their own Adversities to actualize their personal definition of success in every area of life.
