Below is an inspiring video that tells the story of professional skier CR Johnson.  His skiing ability is not what is inspiring however, but rather his ability to comeback after a life threatening, traumatic brain injury in 2005.  Not only did he need to relearn how to ski, but even basic motor skills such as swallowing food and talking.

Within the video, CR talks about his passion for the sport. He speaks of the struggles that he endured following the accident. He also speaks of his refusal to give up, as skiing is his true passion.

In his own words,

“It is too easy to give up on the things that are hard to accomplish.”

His story is true a testament to the power of passion.

In the words of T. Alan Armstong,

“If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.”
