Can-do attitude Tag

Hi everyone. Welcome to the final post in the series birthed out of ‘Be Inspired 2018 conference’. I met many amazing people and each person had a story worth telling. After listening to Heather Clark, I knew I had to share her story with you. I first heard her story at the 'Be Inspired 2016 conference', but this year brought the second instalment of her journey which I found just as inspirational. To help manage her morning sickness, Heather’s mum was prescribed Thalidomide which resulted in her being born with virtually no arms and legs. Her parents had many choices to make including how to raise her to become all she was destined to be. She grew up knowing no limits and not seeing any difference compared to others. If there was one word that summarised what I learnt from Heather, it was ATTITUDE. The first thing that struck me was that she held no animosity towards the doctor that prescribed the medication to her mum. She forgave them. This set her free from carrying around anger and bitterness. This is closely followed by her positive attitude to life. She is full of excitement and has chosen to live her life to the fullest right from a young age till now. She has a can-do attitude, one that refused to let anything stop her from achieving her dreams of becoming a successful Television journalist and athlete who has represented Great Britain in the Paralympic Games thrice.
