Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again.
He stumbled upon an article about Diamond Dallas Page doing Yoga and decided to give it a try -- he couldn't do traditional, higher impact exercise, so he tried DDP YOGA and sent an email to Dallas telling him his story.
Dallas was so moved by his story, he began emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur throughout his journey - he encouraged Arthur to keep going and to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but kept going.
Arthur was getting stronger rapidly, and he was losing weight at an incredible rate! Because of DDP's specialized workout, he gained tremendous balance and flexibility -- which gave him hope that maybe someday, he'd be able to walk again.
His story is proof, that we cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often do not know our own potential. Niether Arthur, nor Dallas knew what he would go on to accomplish, but this video speaks for itself. In less than a year, Arthur completely transformed his life. If only he had known what he was capable of, 15 years earlier.
Do not waste any time thinking you are stuck - you can take control over your life, and change it faster than you might think.
Hopefully this story can inspire you to follow your dreams - whatever they may be.
Anything is Possible!

Movie a found on Netflix called, "Fat, Sick, and nearly dead." Really inspirational. It's about these guys juicing but the most important message I got was determination and motivation to become a better person.
I always loved this one. Look at this freak of nature constantly tossing 400-500+ lb over his head again and again and again. Technically flawless, impossibly strong, perfectly consistent, the greatest athlete of my generation. I hope he wins four consecutive Olympic golds. This guy clean and jerked 216 kg (476 lb) at a bodyweight of 85 kg (187 lb) at seventeen years of age. What the hell were you doing at 17? I was playing computer games like a lazy ****.
