“He Believed In Me”

Every once in a while a video comes along that is so powerful that I get the chills watching it. This is one of those videos.

No one believed in him. Not even himself. His situation was hopeless. Or so he thought. Then he found someone who believed in him.

And helped him to believe in himself.

He learned that, “Just because I can’t do something today doesn’t mean I can’t do it someday.”

Then he found a way.

“Never underestimate what you can accomplish when you believe in yourself.”

Love,
Russ
