    I have a brother who constantly complains about his life and how horrible it is but does absolutely nothing to change it. The fact that you actually have something to complain about yet you fight everyday to make your life have meaning and purpose is inspirational to me.

    Anthony this video has given me life! A few years back I was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. I use to be a HUGE photographer too but when my muscles start to deteriorate I found I could no longer hold my camera. It would make me so angry because it frustrated me. I could no longer do my passion. My camera has not been in its bag, under my stairs for 5 years. Seeing how you have managed to rig it to your chair, as I said before has given me life. As soon as I've finished my breathing treatments, I will be going and getting my camera out and finding a way to attach it to my chair and reignite a passion I had for so many years. Thank you for sharing ur story. Oh and i also know how u feel for all the whys. I got diagnosed with MD when i was 20, I'm now 28 and even now i ask why. U r not alone in this journey!! Keep smiling!! Xx

    What a badass human being! You are so right, Anthony! We do take so much for granted. We look forward to so many endings...the end of a shift, work week, graduations. We plan for Christmas and vacation, all the while we forget to live. We forget to live in the moment and for every moment as they ALL are treasures, gifts that are not renewable.
    Thanks, Anthony. You reminded me to remember and consider just that. Keep being awesome and inspiring others to be the same. Go get your dreams!

      @@yevodee4024 God gave us the best things to explore and utilize. It is the Human, who transgressed the limits (due to greed) and destroyed that perfect balance. Therefore, to fix this we must go back to natural living: start eating live raw foods, take herbs to strengthen and clean our bodies, spend time in nature, allow oneself to ponder over one's purpose of existance, turn to God for the guidance.

      Prove that your god (or any god of any religion) even exists in the first place, and then we can talk. And NO... not a single god-espousing religion has ever shown any reliable, credible, verifiable evidence that its god exists.
      Further, maintaining a healthful diet and a healthful lifestyle has absolutely nothing to do with any god of any religion.

    Hi Anthony, This is the second time I have looked at your video. What inspired me to look at your video was your ALS journey. My grandfather died of this disease back in 1976. He was 66. years of age when he died. At that time not a lot was known about what caused it. My grandfather was an oil man. He used to fix peoples furnaces. He also smoked a pipe. I often wonder if the type of work he did contributed in any way to his condition. I remember what it was like for him. My grandmother used to make him Lobster thermador as it was his favorite dish and used to bring him some happiness. As a family, we did what we could do for him. I am going to pray for you Anthony. FYI I love photography too. You are quite talented. Warm Regards, Joann

    I am in my mid fifties and have lived the majority of my life in North western Canada.
    I don't think that young people today could possibly understand how very much the world has changed for the better, up here at least, since my childhood.
    When I was a child, any sort of defect was considered a source of great shame for a family and was kept hidden well away from the community at large.
    Disabled children rode on their own "special" short busses to their own "special" little schools. Then they went to their special homes, usually institutions or at best, group homes. Rarely were special needs children kept in their family home beyond infancy.
    I was an adult before I even saw a real life person in a wheelchair, and when I did, I had no idea what to do with my eyes. Despite my very best efforts, the situation was exquisitely uncomfortable for all involved.
    Thankfully, I recognized the absurdity of the situation where simply having to interact with someone using wheels to get around could cause such intense discomfort for an able bodied person, and I took it upon myself to get my s**t sorted out asap.
    I'm happy to report that I no longer find it the slightest bit uncomfortable to socialize with someone with any sort of disability.
    I am counting on the new generation of adults and the teens of today who stand poised to follow them, to keep fighting for acceptance of all sorts of "differences" in people around us.
    Sure things have improved but we still have a long Long way to go. We can do better. So why not do better?

    • @AmyAndThePup
      @AmyAndThePup 5 років тому +1

      Yes! Thank you for such a thoughtful comment.
      i'm blind, and when I started school at age five, mine was the only school in my county that worked specifically with blind kids, kids with development or behavior problems, hard of hearing or deaf, etc. We had a lot of other kids who weren't disable in any way. All I'm getting at is, I rode one of those shorter buses, but went to public school my entire life, and I am proud of that, so glad I did. Ii won't get into the public school vs school for (insert disability here) debate, just grateful for what I had.
      So, so glad you recognized the awkwardneess of your encounter and decided to get your own responses sorted. i'm so happy for you that now you can interact with people with any disability with ease. We need more people like you.
      Thank you for sharing your story.
