KATIE STUBBLEFIELD: ANOTHER CHANCE AT LIFE

Image
Who is Katie Stubblefield? Katie Stubblefield was once a dedicated and hard-working high-school pupil who, in a moment of impulse, attempted suicide. Katie’s life was defined in her early days by a series of moves and a rollercoaster relationship. During her high school years, Katie fell in love with a boy and apparently the couple talked about marriage. When Katie Stubblefield's boyfriend broke up with her, in a moment of madness and despair, the pretty teenager snatched her brother Robert's hunting rifle, locked herself in the bathroom and shot herself in the head. When Robert kicked down the door, he discovered his sister with her face 'gone'. The bullet, which was fired upwards as she rested the gun barrel under her chin, had destroyed almost everything in an upwards and inwards triangle, from her chin to between her eyebrows.

The sweetest victory is the one that’s most difficult.  The one that requires you to reach down deep inside, to fight with everything you’ve got, to be willing to leave everything out there on the battlefield—without knowing, until that do-or-die moment, if your heroic effort will be enough. Society doesn’t reward defeat, and you won’t find many failures documented in history books. The exceptions are those failures that become steppingstones to later success. Such is the case with Thomas Edison, whose most memorable invention was the light bulb, which purportedly took him 1,000 tries before he developed a successful prototype. “How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?” a reporter asked. “I didn’t fail 1,000 times,” Edison responded. “The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.” Unlike Edison, many of us avoid the prospect of failure. In fact, we’re so focused on not failing that we don’t aim for success, settling instead for a life of mediocrity. #BeInspired! source: http://

TRUE GREATNESS

Greatness is the height of achievement. We gravitate to greatness by using our potential to its peak. We become great when we do the impossible. We become great when we do the unbelievable. We become great when we discover the secret behind the magic in us and how to use that magic to influence others to dicover their own magic in themselves. When we face our greatest challenges, and we are equal to them, something great comes out of it. Greatness is the sphere of the average who do the extraordinary. It is the unleashing of that which is at our core, which in turn help others unleash theirs. Greatness is finding our VOICE and helping others find theirs. Stephen R. Covey, in this book The 8th Habit, From Effectiveness To Greatness, said: “When you engage in work that taps your talent and fuels your passion – that rises out of a great need in the world that you drawn by conscience to meet – therein lies your VOICE, your CALLING, your SOUL’S CODE.” We all can be great, if we are i
