I was just so inspired by the ease at which Nico approached this traumatic incident.  He just like you and me have dreams to make this life time count for something, find out in the two part series how Nico looks back on the past and how he is going to be brave now in this predicament with one arm and one leg and still make his dreams come true! 

Listen to part one in the previous episode. 

How do we snap out of this victim mindset?  Move From Corporate to Creating Your Own Creative Purpose In Life? 
We can hold onto our negative past or grab onto everything that's out there. 

Meet Nolan Pillay, he failed school, and feeling so ashamed, he tried to commit suicide. Thankfully, he survived and got a second chance.   
But then, what do you do?  Walk around with your tail between your legs?  Or, out there, rain or shine,  and be grateful for what comes your way and make life work. 

Nolan is the Author of " My Covid Journey" and  he is the founder of his Self Development       "Business Straight Talking With Nolan"
