Podcasts about adversity overcoming paralysis

So very few people have the perspective on life and the mindset that this man has because so few people have had to go through what he has. Marcus has been, by far, one of my favorite Apogee Friday call guests that we have had to date. And with a name like Marcus Aurelius Anderson, none of that comes as any surprise. Grateful to have people like him pouring into the young men of Apogee and being a living example of the savage gentleman. MARCUS AURELIUS ANDERSON Today's guest is Marcus Aurelius Anderson, a proud Veteran, Bestselling Author of “The Gift of Adversity”, TEDx & International Keynote Speaker, Mindset Coach to Leaders, CEO's and Entrepreneurs, Lifelong Martial Artist, creator of the Acta Non Verba Movement, and host of the Acta Non Verba Podcast. While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army Light Infantry, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life but told him he'd never walk or use his hands again. After months of anger and suicidal depression, 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, inspires, and teaches others to use their Adversity as a catalyst to actualize their personal definition of success in every area of life and business. His message teaches us how we can use our own Adversity to make us into better warriors, leaders, entrepreneurs, and human beings to create a better world.

Curt Mercadante interviews mindset coach and author Marcus Aurelius Anderson about how we can not only be resilient amidst the current COVID-19 crisis, but also find gratitude amidst our adversity. At the age of 37, Anderson got an age waiver to enter the U.S. Army. While training to deploy, he broke his back, died twice on the operating table, and spent a year paralyzed. He came out of this situation with a physical and mental recover and now coaches and inspiries individuals around the globe. He is the author of the powerful book, The Gift of Adversity: Overcoming Paralysis and Pain to Find Purpose.

How can we prepare ourselves for crises like the one in which we currently find ourselves? The key lies in “micro-adversities,” says mindset coach and speaker Marcus Aurelius Anderson, author of the book, The Gift of Adversity: Overcoming Paralysis and Pain to Find Purpose. “The reality is most people that are fearful right now (due to the COVID-19), they’re not really scared….they’re not prepared,” said Anderson. At the age of 37, Anderson got an age waiver to enter the U.S. Army. While training to deploy, he broke his back, died twice on the operating table, and spent a year paralyzed. He came out of this situation with a physical and mental recover and now coaches and inspiries individuals around the globe. Today’s episode is an excerpt of the full interview that will air later this week.

Marcus Aurelius Anderson is an Bestselling Author, TEDx Speaker and International Keynote Speaker, High Performance Mindset Coach for Leaders, CEO’s and entrepreneurs. He’s also the host of the #1 New and Noteworthy podcast “Conscious Millionaire Epic Achiever” show.  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 coaches others to overcome their own Adversities to actualize their personal definition of success in business and every area of life.  Key Points from the Episode with Marcus Aurelius Anderson: We opened in the middle of a conversation about Marcus’s name, which belonged to a Roman emperor, which set up a very high bar to aspire to. That’s something that drives him rather than makes him feel inadequate. That’s a theme for the conversation. Adversity is at the heart of what Marcus talks about, and it’s something he sees as a gift. That view is of course born from his life experience, and his specific experience with extreme adversity. Not just a gift, but adversity is also an inevitability for all of us. That makes the choice of how we relate to it that much more important. The choice we have in each moment of adversity is whether we attach emotion to it. Is this an opportunity to react or be empathetic and human to the person who is challenging us. While this can be hard in the moment, the key is to practice and focus on it in moments free of adversity so we are more trained for when these moments arise. Marcus’s first hand understanding started when we joined the military at 38, which is very old for their standards. We talked about priorities, which is what we pour our time and focus into. We often say things are priorities yet we don’t treat them that way. This was the situation with his marriage. He prioritized his studies to become a chiropractor, so his marriage fell apart. This started a path to need a change and a stronger sense of purpose and service, which led him to the military. The tendency we all have is to put as much distance between ourselves and the adversity as possible. Instead, why not try to find out what’s going on and how to keep it from happening again? As his training pre-deployment continued, he started to have issues with his grip and nerves. It kept progressing, and Marcus kept denying it was real. It culminated one morning when he was woken up by someone at his door, and he couldn’t get out of bed to let them in. He was completely paralyzed from the neck down. Without knowing it, Marcus summed up the whole idea of Do a Day. He said, "If you had a great or bad day yesterday, today is the day you get to continue. You get to decide and dictate how you live your life from this moment on, and you choose that moment over and over again.” We talked about the power of being present, and how it can allow people to be more productive while also being able to focus on what we say are our priorities better than we have been. A key to all of this is finding your true motivation, something I totally agree with. Instead of something fleeting or material, focus on something deeper that truly moves you and is enduring. He had spinal surgery after waking up paralyzed, which was fraught with complications, delays and difficulties. He died on the operating table, and was brought back to news that he was lucky to be alive but shouldn’t expect more. He realized he was really stuck with the situation. He couldn’t just ignore it like he had been ignoring the growing nerve and strength issues before his paralysis. He kept thinking the next day, he would be able to feel things, and when it wouldn’t come, he would be livid. It helped him to see how we assume our abilities will be there – our success, physical capabilities, relationships, etc. Marcus learned first hand that this isn’t true. He asks people, if you woke up paralyzed tomorrow morning, what would you wish you had in your life? This question can help people refocus on those things they claim are priorities. When we think about losing things, we realize we may look back on what we think are struggles today, and appreciate the growth they can afford us. Everything we do should have purpose, intention and growth in it. If we steer our own bus, it can. We talked about gratitude, and how people often just focus on the things they like. That means that we are only grateful for half (or something like that) of the things in our life. That’s leaving so much opportunity for more gratitude, if we choose to see the things to be thankful for in the tougher moments we don’t like as much. For Marcus, it took three months before he had sensation in his extremities and a year before he was able to walk fully. Throughout that period, he had suicidal thoughts, but because of his paralysis, he couldn’t act on it. Today, his mindset is what would save him. One thing he’s been able to draw from is his martial arts training around the Zen mind. One aspect of it is to remove yourself from the situation and try to look at it holistically. This helps remove the feeling of being hurt that can keep us from seeing potential and opportunity. A week after shifting his mindset is when he started to regain feeling in his hand. He also saw the similarity in facing a bigger, stronger opponent. If you only fight against them, they will win. If you turn into them and move with them momentarily, you can gain an advantage. In his own struggle to recover, he saw the same dynamic. He was fighting what was going on hard and angrily. Instead, he tried submitting to it and going with it after three months, and that allowed him to change the dynamic, see the benefit and turn things around.

His book "The Gift of Adversity: Overcoming Paralysis and Pain to Find Purpose" is available on Amazon and Kindle. In this episode we dive into: Marcus’ incredible story of overcoming a spinal cord injury How to intentionally introduce adversity into our life as a stimulus for growth. Why we should be living our lives as a series of short sprints rather than a marathon. What it takes to be a good leader and the art of actually applying those principles. The importance of removing our emotional attachment to an event so that we can process things objectively, and how this oftentimes leads to us discovering that the things we thought were problems aren’t actually problems at all. How Marcus freed his mind of the “victim” mentality that had crept in after his surgery. Unconditional gratitude, and using adversity as a compass in which we should actually gravitate towards rather than avoid. How martial arts led Marcus into coaching and teaching and the other skills he learned over his years of training. Why we all need something or somebody to be pushing us and how this accountability can be our missing link for growth. How we can systematically change hardship into opportunity. How we can use “microadversities” daily to build a stronger mind and body. Learning to live every day with a sense of urgency. www.brenttieri.com http://www.marcusaureliusanderson.com/

We can't just act like they're not going on and intellectually put our fingers in our ears and say 'lalalalala' and hope it doesn't happen. We need to acknowledge and feel that pain and go to those depths, because the sooner we hit the bottom, the sooner we can build upon to get out of that pit of darkness and despair.” “It's okay to be happy, it's okay to be sad, just don't let that define you.” “In the end we are only as strong as the adversity we overcome.” Contact Marcus: The Gift of Adversity: Overcoming Paralysis and Pain to Find Purpose by Marcus Aurelius Anderson https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Adversity-Overcoming-Paralysis-Purpose-ebook/dp/B076P481QN Marcus's Website http://www.marcusaureliusanderson.com/ Marcus's Tedx talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXicUawrH6o Contact Diane: Feedback@dianerandallconsults.com Ask your questions or share your feedback: Write your comments in the show notes section Website: http://www.DianeRandallConsults.com Get Diane’s new book, “Jumpstart Your Life:  Find Your Motivation and Change Your Life One Step at a Time “available online at Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound and other online retailers.

In this episode Alden digs in with the inspirational Marcus Aurelius Anderson, author of The Gift of Adversity: Overcoming Paralysis and Pain to Find Purpose.While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. His life was turned upside down, and after dying twice on the operating table, he was told he would never be able to walk or use his hands again. Days quickly turned into months, and he was forced into life changing soul searching. He discovered he was left with two choices, he could either be a victim, or he change his mindset. Having no other option, he began looking for any lessons to be learned from his injury, and soon discovered that his Adversity was a gift. He now speaks, teaches, and writes to inspire others to actualize their full potential and achieve their goals and aspirations.
