Remember when your Facebook timeline was filled with combo platters, bar-b-que platters and Farmville invitations? Yes, as annoying as those Farmville game invites could be, anything would be a welcome relief to all of the political experts we now have. Experts that quote, copy and paste, and “share” unsubstantiated “news” articles that are no more based in fact than Punxsutawney Phil and Groundhog Day. Yet, it’s caused friendships to end, family members to become bitter with each other, and what were once good people to become obsessed with politics, primarily based on blatant lies, rumors, opinions and sensationalized articles. People now need safe spaces. And once reasonable people are just falling into the trap, spewing the lies, and judging their friends and family based on total nonsense. Poor us. The world is going to end. We are going to have World War III right here in the USA. OH, the humanity. How could anything worse happen to us?
Meet Kyle Maynard. Kyle is just your normal guy who likes challenges. He doesn’t need a safe space. He’s climbed a couple of mountains, including Mount Kilimanjaro. Did I mention he is the first quadruple amputee to do that, without any prosthetics? No matter how bad things are in your world, I’m thinking things are worse in his. Wait. I take that back. Kyle has an infection. He’s been infected with a positive outlook and a desire to find a way to make things happen. Maybe now, if we could all do that, the outlook for our country wouldn’t be so bad. So shut up, stop whining, and watch these videos. Watch them several times. And if you still feel the need to bitch and moan, write yourself a letter.
“All discoveries happen from, “I Don't Know.” -Kyle Maynard, the first quadruple amputee to climb Mount Kilimanjaro
Sometimes we forget how lucky we are. How blessed we are. And it's obvious, Kyle feels the same way. So when people ask Kyle how he will accomplish a new task, "I don't know" is just the beginning of the process.
