Real Life Motivational Stories

Motivational stories of people who have hit rock bottom, only to turn around and live amazing lives is not only inspirational, but astounding.

One such motivation story is that of Joe Roberts. He became CEO of Mindware Communications - a company in Canada.

To look at Joe, you'd never believe he was a drug-addicted, homeless-bum living on the streets of Canada. He lived this way for 10 years before vowing to turn his life around.

If He Can Drastically Improve His Life, So Can You!

What was Joe's life like back then?

Joe explains, "I was a homeless person living in doorways and under bridges in Vancouver's notorious drug-infested East End. My life was a series of let downs, disappointments, painful experiences, suffering circumstances, and very bad choices. I finally was confronted with an ultimatum. Face the fear, pain and uncertainty of changing the course of my life or face death." (this was taken from Joe's book Seven Secrets to Profit from Adversity).

When You're Rock Bottom, You Can Lift Yourself Up

Your rock bottom may be different from Joe's; however, you can use his life lessons to motivate you through your own adversity. The first thing you must do is CHOOSE. You have to WANT to make your life better. I share Joe's story with you, because it served and continues to serve as powerful motivation whenever I deal with obstacles or challenges.

Joe challenges," What if I told you that your past does not define you at all? What if I told you that every mistake you have made will have no bearing on what your future holds? What if I told you that you could not fail at anything you believe you can achieve? What if your future dreams and hopes are a reality waiting for you to experience? Well, it's true." (7 Secrets to Profit from Adversity).
