I am watching a TV show called “Extreme Home Makeover”, and this particular episode is very touching. On the show, they are making a new home for a woman named Marian. Her old home was very inaccessible and restrictive for her. She is missing two legs and one hand and had difficulty maneuvering around her old house. The people on the show and her community are getting together to make her a new house. This is half the story though, her story goes beyond that. She is a single mom of four children and raised them all by herself. She put herself through school and then bought her first house. She struggled to make ends meet, paying student loans and other bills.
The reason I really find this story inspirational is because through all her difficulties, she was still persistent to go on with life. Some of us have two legs and two arms and haven’t gotten this far—or want to push on.. The next time you think you can’t go on, think of Marian.
