Yo, today's Q-O-T is, I focus on what I can do and I do that with all my heart and all my soul.

Here we go!

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and

Eshant Crox and dot com. We've got Marcy Shemoff back on the show and today she's going to share an

inspiring story to take you into your weekend. Here's Marcy.

So our thoughts are so amazingly powerful. I want to share with you a story about

somebody who has definitely used the power of his thoughts and of his mind to not believe

everything he thought or the society would have him think. It's a story about a man named Roger Crawford.

I'm going to show you a picture of Roger and I want you to tell me what's different about Roger than about you and me.

His hands. Roger was born without any palms. He has just one thumb coming out of one arm and a thumb and a

four finger coming out of the other arm. Now what you can't see in this picture is that Roger was also born

with a badly crippled left leg. His leg had to be amputated from the knee down when he was just five years old.

So he grew up on an artificial leg. Now these aren't great circumstances but Roger was actually fortunate and he was

fortunate because he had parents who taught him that it wasn't his circumstances in life that would affect his

happiness but rather with his thoughts and attitudes about himself. So in the eighth grade Roger's

mother's notice that all of Roger's pant pockets were worn out. Why were his pant pockets worn out?

Hiding his hands. So what did his mother do? Sodom shut. She said, honey, God gave you these hands. I want you to be proud

of who you are and I want you to show yourself to the whole world. Well armed with that attitude in the ninth grade Roger decided to try out for the football team.

Miraculously he made the football team but he wasn't called into every game so he set what he thought was a realist

at goal for himself which was to get one touchdown during one game of the season. The final game of the season came and he hadn't gotten his

touchdown yet so he went into that game with full focus and attention. This is the game I'm going to get it. Halfway through the

game the quarterback sent the football flying in Roger's direction accidentally but Roger seized the opportunity.
