Inspiration: Aimee Mullins

I stumbled upon this video and was inspired. And I was challenged.

This post isn’t just about how Aimee Mullins was born without fibulae in both legs and had a double amputation below both knees on her first birthday with a prognosis to never walk.

Instead this is about how Aimee Mullins took what is a nightmare for most and found the beauty in the obstacle, pushed herself in every way and challenged everyone around her on what is normal and what is beautiful.

My words can’t really do justice. Watch the video below to hear this inspirational athlete, actress, fashion model and speaker’s message in her own words.

I promise it’s worth all 10 minutes!

Have you overcome any obstacles in your life? (Remember obstacles aren’t just physical!) Please share in the comments!

Healthy Ashley has a very new look! Notice all the fun sections at the top! A huge thanks! to my Love, David, who stayed up with me very late last night helping me make everything just right. I'm kind of one of those !RIGHT! NOW! people when I want to try something!

What do you think of the new look?
