In this episode we talk to Nitro Circus star Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham and learn how he used spina bifida not as an excuse but as a motivation to be extraordinary.  He explains the importance of being surrounded by loving people and finding the positives in every situation, even when it's painful or inconvenient.

Notes about this episode: Too old, too tired, physical problems - all those excuses we give ourselves. Take some inspiration from Aaron (Wheelz) Fotheringham and click on the video at the top of his page http://www.aaronfotheringham.com/ (You'll see some photos at the top and one of them is the video.) Born with spina bifida and confined to a wheelchair at 3 years old. Aaron is one of many people who refused to allow excuses. When you find yourself ready to give up, instead fill yourself up with these kinds of stories of achieving in spite of. Take care and remember you are enough just the way you are, Carol
