Be Yourself – Dylan Furrow (Inspirational Video)
I never really noticed it until I
started going to school that’s when I
realized that I was a bit different from
everyone else whether I was walking down
a hallway or sitting down at a lunch
table
people were always staring at me at
first I didn’t pay any attention to it
until it started to bother me you see I
grew up a big baseball player as a kid I
was eating sleeping and breathing
baseball to others it was just a game
but to me it was much more than that it
was something that I looked forward to
every single day and something that I
just really enjoyed doing the more I
played the more I started to realize how
much of an impact I had on other people
almost every game someone would come up
to me and tell me that I was an
inspiration and that I was their Idol to
them how is this person with one hand is
doing the impossible but to
it was just another kid that liked to
play baseball you see when I was growing
up I didn’t want to be that kid with one
hand I didn’t want to be the guy stuck
out in the crowd I wanted to be normal I
wanted to be just like everybody else I
used to spend so much time sitting in my
room asking myself why did this happen
to me
it wasn’t until a few years ago when I
read a book it changed the way I looked
at life it said it’s not about what you
have it’s about what you do with it
although this quote might be about
things like money and power it also
applies to life itself you see it made
me realize that it’s not about the way
you look it’s not about the obstacles
that are in your way
it’s about the way you choose to face
those obstacles it’s about moving
forward in life even when life itself is
against you you know I never thought
that I would be the one here today and
make
telling you my story but I realize it I
was given this life I was given this
opportunity to show the world that
anything is possible
that you can do whatever you want to do
that you can be whoever you want to be
what others think about you is not
important what you think about yourself
however means everything
life is short do what you love and do it
often live your dream and be who you
want to be thank you guys so much for
watching and I will see you guys next
week
