Hurdles are for jumping. Truly.

This little pearl of wisdom was from my wife's late grandmother who, in her late years, suffered numerous health challenges but never let the light nor laughter fade from her life.

And this was no solo sentiment either from the grand old lady.

Without going into too much detail, she had to have leg amputations in addition to other serious (and ultimately terminal) issues, but responded in the best possible way, quipping to her doctors:

Good job I'm not a centipede!

These words of wisdom and defiance in the face of serious battles have stuck with me for years and have particularly applied to me on numerous occasions in my professional life.

I hope they provide the same motivation for you. So get going today.
