Indeed, tomorrow is never promised. Everything is all good now until you find out; the next day you wake up, you lose your sight or begin to lose it slowly.
That would be unimaginable for most of us with normal senses to think of it.
Or the worst that could happen, we die.
There must be something about people who have come to grips with their physical limitations and can still live life to the fullest.
While some wallow in despair, others choose to face the challenge to live even better.
In this episode, Joe shares how at 27, he is legally blind, slowly losing sight starting when he was a kid. The one reason also why his athletic pursuit suddenly ended and his life changed since then.
But despite knowing that every day is a miracle, and anytime he can get completely blind, he turns his energy into something productive instead of being so distraught and focused on what he lacks. This truly is remarkable as he lives every day with a sense of urgency – the kind that enjoys the process while going after the prize of success.
What internal motivation and strong mindset does he inculcate to live such an amazing life full of meaning and purpose?
That one and a whole lot more of wisdom in life and running one’s business as you join us in today’s episode.
Joe Rinaldi grew up in Westfield, NJ but now lives in Philadelphia, PA, with his wife, Michaela. He is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a performance coach, a business owner (Project Endure), a writer, a speaker… but those titles don't and won’t define who he is because he is a human being and child of God. He is here to serve, love, encourage, inspire and leave the world a better place than he found it in everything he does.
“The urgency is really about the process, doing the right thing, living the way that I feel called to live. And you know, the outcomes will come.” - Joe Rinaldi
