Push Past Paralyzing Fear & Pain to Find Purpose with Marcus Aurelius Anderson

Life has many ways of challenging us.  Most of the time we are faced with minor inconveniences, but there are times when we are faced with extreme amounts of adversity.  Your success will depend on whether or not you can find the gift and lesson hidden within your pain.  While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed.  After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life but told him he’d never walk again.  Having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury.  Once he started seeing his Adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen…  Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires, and teaches others to overcome their own adversity and actualize their definition of success. On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Marcus and I discuss the event that drastically changed his life, how our emotions can blind us from the truth, and how Marcus went from being paralyzed and in pain, to find his purpose.
