Athlete | Vegas | Bon Meade | You can adapt and thrive despite the adversity you face

[Scott Davidson @Living_Adaptive]

@priceacarter I haven’t posted on X in years (I’m on IG, FB, etc), but I stumbled on your post. Today is actually the day Baylor begins his journey as a para athlete where he will show the world how to adapt and thrive despite the adversity he faces. This I believe.

One Day or Day One, you decide.

The universe is telling you that Jan 1, 2024 is your Day One.

My hope is that you will decide to chase those big dreams you have in your head.

Small ways to become a kinder person this holiday season:

1. Wait for someone if they are falling behind.

2. Stop saying hurtful things, especially behind a person’s back.

3. Be proud of yourself for the times you've said 'yes,' when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to somebody else.

4. If someone gets interrupted, ask them what they were going to say and then listen.

5. Don’t allow your feelings to be an excuse for bad behavior.

6. Be more aware of your surroundings and help those in need.

7. Be as kind to yourself as you are to others.

I get this question a lot: “Are you worried you are hurting your body by running so much?”

To be clear, I am hurting my body by running so much. I am not worried about the inevitable loss of mobility. I am not here for self-preservation. I am here to reach my greatest potential no matter what may follow.

A story I want to tell you.

Not long ago I was in a race running the furthest distance I’ve attempted to that date. I was sick, extremely sleep deprived, lacking nutrition, it was 3 am and I began to shut down. My mind wasn’t right. The weather was really cold, yet I tore my clothes off because I felt hot. I didn’t know if I was on a bridge or in a cow pasture. As I ran, I was avoiding random vehicles. I was in a place I’ve never been and I felt like my life was slipping away. I prayed to God and my late grandmother as I ran alone. Despite my systems shutting down, I made it to the finish line. My body didn’t stop shaking for hours. I couldn’t get warm. I tried to stop my limbs from spasming but nothing worked and no help was to be found. It’s difficult to explain to you what was happening.

You should know that I require a tremendous amount of energy to run one mile, let alone a lot of miles…and at the time of this run, I just got my right side limb salvage device so every movement felt new and really difficult. In hindsight, I maybe should’ve skipped this race.

When the sun began to rise, my body slowly climbed out of shock. I knew that the universe provided a path to my recovery. I don’t have the words to explain what happened to me out there, but it changed every fiber of my being. That night, I learned a lot about myself and the universe.

I was not always the resilient person you see. The suffering through years of treatments to reconstruct my body, the nasty comments I receive to this day, losing my physical abilities, and the inevitable need for carbon fiber to wrap around my limbs so I can walk…all this stuff did break me. I had a very dark night of the soul.
I chose to become who I am, and I petitioned God and worked relentlessly to get here. You too can transcend your adversities and become your greatest self. That I know.

I don’t fully understand pain. I spent much of my life reading, meditating, praying in hopes of understanding the purpose of pain. I never received a crystal clear answer, but I do know that out of my greatest adversities grew my greatest strengths and this includes learning to love those struggling.

It’s kind of amazing how a human gets
patched up and then functions at a decent level. Surgeries + a lifetime of treatments + some hardware helped mold me back together…and then the devices on my legs keep me moving forward. I really do believe we are created to be resiliant.

You didn’t necessarily choose your adversities, but you do have a choice in your response.

I don’t know much, but I do know a lot of you are struggling to find your purpose in this life. To feel needed.
I think these struggles are common.
I don’t have some sort of solution.
I’m just thinking that ur navigating the normal human experience and there is nothing wrong with you.

Your body may break…your limbs may fail…but your spirit is strong

You will adapt and thrive despite the adversity you face

@MMARoasted @jakepaul Apparently, Denis thought Sean was a bully and had a little back and forth on IG and Denis showed up despite the size difference and they sparred. Vegas is just weird some days. This shit happens a lot here.

[Scott Davidson @Living_Adaptive]

@MMARoasted @MMARoasted that’s Denis Doughlin. He’s a really good boxer, but about 65 lbs lighter than Sean. Used to be my kids’ striking coach. He’s helped @jakepaul and a bunch of other boxers.

@PeterSchiff I always come here for a daily uplifting thought

@DeeSellsNCHomes @dagenmcdowell I am assuming you haven’t worked in the housing industry during other downturns? Are you morally obligated to your customers to understand how raising the interest rate impacts inventory and costs?

[Scott Davidson @Living_Adaptive]

@DeeSellsNCHomes @dagenmcdowell You will harm so many buyers by pretending to understand what's going on...home prices will lose all covid gains and more if we hit 6.5-7% which we will.

[Scott Davidson @Living_Adaptive]

@PeterSchiff you made your name by predicting the housing bubble of 2008. What’s your prediction for housing in 2022?
