Marcos Rossi: Nothing is Impossible


Listen Later

God wants you to be happy, man!


Most people have everything, without even realizing it, but they don’t do anything because they believe they have nothing.


We need to be resourceful and acknowledge that the resources are all around us. The trouble is we don’t see them because we always search for that special resource or that too expensive resource.


Don’t wait to be happy! Start now, with the resources you already have.


In today’s episode, Marcos and I talk about the power of acceptance, the beauty of trusting people, and about living your life like there’s no tomorrow. The most important advice he gives us is to never let our physical or self-imposed limitations stop us from dreaming and achieving our purpose and our mission in life.   


Marcos Rossi was born with a condition they have labeled as “hand-heart syndrome”, meaning, in his case, that he was born without arms or legs, and was given a life expectancy of 30 years. He is now 37, he is married, with two kids. He is a lawyer and the top executive at a bank in Brazil, he is a surfer, a scuba diver, a DJ, a drummer and also a singer.


So, listen to Episode 20 of My Fitness Ride, to learn how Marcos was able to manage and handle his condition and lifestyle in a way that empowers him to have the best life possible, which is something we all could learn a lot about.
