Awesome photos. I wouldn't actually want a quad that big, but the leg on that bodybuilder is impressive!
Same here! And his spirit to not give up after losing a leg is impressive too!
Amazing photos. I have no reason to complain, ever.
Here here...sometimes I do though and then I'm reminded how much better I have it.
Thanks for sharing gents! Great pics, that make me think of what I think is my limit. I know in my head I can go further than I think I can. Its making that translate to real life that matters! Ask Todd about ESOAL
It's so awesome to see how happy those little boys are in that picture with the 3 of them! Them and their pudgy little bellies. lol.
The world wealth calculator is pretty scary to think about. It's amazing how much we take for granted and how truly spoiled we all are. Even the people that think they're sacrificing or don't have much here in the US have far more than most in this world could dream of having.
Very encouraging. They make me feel so small. Thank you.
Thank you so much for that. I must have stumbled across your blog (well RFI got me here) for a reason because I really needed that today!
You're welcome! Glad it inspired and motivated you.
The picture of the soldier hugging his baby made me cry... being a mom messes with your hormones!
It certainly can do that! When I was still in the Army I remember the "toughest" of guys breaking down from missing their kids.
Great post. My favourite was the soldier holding his child. Pure joy.
