Blake ur story is an inspiration to millions who need to watch this . I can’t imagine how and what made u rise and become an incredible version . Your battle can only tell tomorrow is a day to not give up . More more and more strength to you to inspire more around you
Sometimes circumstance requires that you respond. But how you respond is still up to us. I chose to respond and fight on my own terms, as it was the only thing I could control. Definitely never give up, but giving in can be a major victory if done properly! Me standing on stage is the proof.
Its crazy that all those horrible things happened to his body but if I past him on the street I would never have thought he would of been through that! Its a interesting concept... accept horrible things happening so then you can rebuild.
Yes, you might not notice but my right foot is crooked and I still have many limitations. But learning to fall was a key step for me. Thanks for your comments and insight.
I've watched this twice already. Simply amazing. I know how broken your body was, and I continue to be amazed by the strength of your spirit -- then and now. What great lessons and new ways to think about acceptance and evolving after a fall or failure. I know you successfully skied in December. What a badass! Thanks for inspiring us and helping us think differently about things we usually try to avoid. I'm in awe.
Hi Stephanie, your words mean a lot to me. Thanks. I honestly didn't know what I was doing at the time, but when I looked back on it I realised all my learnings. A tough way to do it, but there is a part of me that is definitely grateful, even for that.
I reached out to Blake when he was still in a wheelchair to wish him well, I remember being amazed at how upbeat he was, even joking about it!! I think most people would just want to curl up and die, not Blake though! It's both a horrific and inspiring story. Great talk Blake ❤
Thank you so much Blake for sharing your story with us! I remember watching you live and got goosebumps and that has not changed at all! It is a privilege to hear your story, truly inspiring! Love your energy, drive and passion!
I went to high school in Colorado with Blake... what an inspirational story!! I remember a leader at Fortune 50 company told my younger self to be "fearless". I always cringed at this advice, because without fear we have nothing to overcome- We can use fear to create greatness
I really needed to hear this today. I am grateful the Universe sent it to me.
I'm glad you liked it!
We are so proud to have Blake with us today after this horrible accident and thankful he shared his story with all of you!
And I was honored, SERIOUSLY honored, to be given such a stage to share my story. Thank you!
