0
SPEAKER_00
I haven t done one of these in about six weeks because many of my regular listeners know that my sister has been battling pancreatic cancer for over four years.
0
SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_00
So I was taking time away from the show to focus it on my family and my nephew.
0
SPEAKER_00
And today s episode is a dedicated one to her where I m going to talk about thriving through adversity like she did over the four years that she battled her cancer.
0
SPEAKER_00
In life, we often find ourselves facing daunting challenges that threaten to derail our dreams and aspirations.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yet, amidst these trials and tribulations, some individuals not only survive, but thrive.
0
SPEAKER_00
What sets these resilient souls apart?
0
SPEAKER_00
The answer lies in the potent combination of optimism and determination, qualities exemplified by Glenn Cunningham.
0
SPEAKER_00
Imagine being told that you would never walk again.
0
SPEAKER_00
How would you respond?
0
SPEAKER_00
This was the grim reality faced by Glenn when he was just eight years old, following a devastating schoolhouse fire that threatened to end his mobility and his life.
0
SPEAKER_00
But Glenn didn t just walk again.
0
SPEAKER_00
He ran, and he shattered world records doing it.
0
SPEAKER_00
In today s episode, I ll dive into the inspiring journey of the Kansas Flyer, a man whose life transcends athletic achievement.
0
SPEAKER_00
Here we ll reveal how Glenn transformed a dire prognosis into a legendary tale of victory and resilience.
0
SPEAKER_00
Join us as we uncover the strategies that he used to not only regain his footing, but to race ahead of the competition.
0
SPEAKER_00
His narrative is a shining example for anyone struggling with their darkest hours, demonstrating how to channel inner fortitude into transforming adversity into triumph.
0
SPEAKER_00
Dive into a story that proves time and time again that the human spirit can conquer
0
SPEAKER_00
the toughest challenges.
0
SPEAKER_00
Thank you for choosing Passion Struck and choosing me to be your host and guide on your journey to creating an intentional life.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, let that journey begin.
0
SPEAKER_00
The adversity that defined Glenn Cunningham s life struck on a chilling morning in Atlanta, Kansas, when he was just eight years old.
0
SPEAKER_00
While tasked with warming his schoolhouse, Glenn and his older brother Floyd encountered an error that would change their lives forever.
0
SPEAKER_00
On that fateful day, Floyd mistakenly filled the container used to fuel the furnace with gasoline instead of kerosene.
0
SPEAKER_00
When Glenn lit the furnace,
0
SPEAKER_00
It exploded, engulfing the wooden schoolhouse in flames.
0
SPEAKER_00
Amidst the chaos and smoke, the local townspeople managed to rescue an unconscious Glenn, who was severely burned and barely alive.
0
SPEAKER_00
His brother Floyd did not survive the ordeal.
0
SPEAKER_00
This profound tragedy marked the beginning
0
SPEAKER_00
of a long and painful journey for young Glenn.
0
SPEAKER_00
So now I want to take you to the hospital and the grim prognosis that Glenn was given.
0
SPEAKER_00
In a small county hospital, the severely burned and semi-conscious Glenn could faintly hear the doctor speaking to his mother.
0
SPEAKER_00
The doctor informed her that her son s condition was critical, expressing that he might not make it
0
SPEAKER_00
out alive, considering the extensive damage to the lower half of his body, which was caused by the fire.
0
SPEAKER_00
Despite the grim prognosis, the courageous boy was determined to survive.
0
SPEAKER_00
To the physician s astonishment, he miraculously pulled through.
0
SPEAKER_00
However, as the immediate danger faded, one of Glenn s most distinct memories from his hospital stay was overhearing another conversation between his mother and the doctors.
0
SPEAKER_00
who explained to his mother that due to the extensive damage from the fire, he was destined to be a lifelong cripple with no function in his lower limbs, and it might even require amputation.
0
SPEAKER_00
His mother s faith in him and her refusal to consent to amputation ignited a spark of hope and determination in Glenn.
0
SPEAKER_00
This unwavering support from his family was crucial.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was the emotional foundation upon which he began to rebuild his physical strength.
0
SPEAKER_00
Amidst the haze of pain and morphine, Glenn s semi-conscious mind clung to a single, life-altering epiphany.
0
SPEAKER_00
His fate was his to shape, not to be dictated by the grim forecast of others.
0
SPEAKER_00
His brother Floyd had not survived the fire, and Glenn decided that he would live and thrive for the both of them.
0
SPEAKER_00
After several agonizing months in the hospital, Glenn returned home.
0
SPEAKER_00
Initially, he experienced no sensation below his waist, yet his family treated him with encouragement rather than pity.
0
SPEAKER_00
They massaged his legs daily and motivated him to keep moving, gradually reigniting the neurological connections between his brain and his limbs.
0
SPEAKER_00
At this pivotal moment, Glenn made a choice.
0
SPEAKER_00
He decided not to be defined by the catastrophic events of his childhood or the bleak prognosis offered by his doctors.
0
SPEAKER_00
Similarly, we all face moments where we must choose how to respond to our challenges.
0
SPEAKER_00
Will we let them define us?
0
SPEAKER_00
Or will we, like Glenn, use them as stepping stones to forge our path?
0
SPEAKER_00
Determined to walk again, Glenn began an excruciating regimen of physical therapy at his home.
0
SPEAKER_00
He would start by hurling himself off his wheelchair onto the grass.
0
SPEAKER_00
and then painstakingly dragging himself along the ground to the white picket fence.
0
SPEAKER_00
Each day, he pulled himself along this fence, slowly standing, then gradually putting more weight on his legs.
0
SPEAKER_00
Over time, the fence supported him physically and symbolized his journey towards mobility.
0
SPEAKER_00
When reflecting on Glenn Cunningham s story, it s easy to see his journey as uniquely extraordinary.
0
SPEAKER_00
A tale of exceptional courage and resilience.
0
SPEAKER_00
However, the underlying themes of his life are universal, resonating deeply with anyone who s facing personal challenges.
0
SPEAKER_00
Here s how listeners can see themselves in Glenn s story and draw inspiration from it.
0
SPEAKER_00
First, it teaches us to reject victimhood.
0
SPEAKER_00
Glenn refused to see himself as a victim of his circumstances.
0
SPEAKER_00
This mindset shift is crucial for anyone looking to overcome personal adversity.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s about moving from passively accepting one s fate to actively pursuing one s aspirations.
0
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s response to his crisis, driven by a deep-seated determination to overcome, reminds us that the human spirit can face extreme hardships head-on.
0
SPEAKER_00
Second, it teaches us the importance of harnessing support.
0
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s recovery wasn t solitary.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was fueled by the unwavering support of his family.
0
SPEAKER_00
His story highlights the importance of seeking and accepting support, whether from family, friends, or the community.
0
SPEAKER_00
For listeners, it s a call to not isolate when we re faced with tough times, but to lean on and draw strength from those that are around us.
0
SPEAKER_00
And third, it shows us the role of incremental progress.
0
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s recovery involved daily painstaking efforts, each small movement building on the
1
SPEAKER_00
last.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a poignant illustration of how incremental progress, no matter how small, can lead to significant achievements.
1
SPEAKER_00
This aspect of his journey is especially relatable to anyone working towards professional or personal goals, underscoring the value of persistence and patience.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, let s talk about the rest of the story and how Glenn s legacy was cemented.
1
SPEAKER_00
With his foundation of recovery solidified, Glenn just didn t return to normalcy.
1
SPEAKER_00
He transcended it.
1
SPEAKER_00
His love for running, once a mere therapeutic endeavor, blossomed into a full-fledged passion that would define his legacy.
1
SPEAKER_00
He ran not out of necessity, but for the sheer exhilaration of feeling the earth swiftly pass under his feet.
1
SPEAKER_00
He ran to school, through the fields, and along the roads of his small Kansas town.
1
SPEAKER_00
With each run, Glenn pushed further away from his past as a victim of circumstance, moving towards a future that he chose to write with every stride.
1
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s passion and speed soon caught the eyes of more than just the townsfolk.
1
SPEAKER_00
When he entered college, his running prowess earned him a spot on the track team, where he quickly stood out not just for his speed,
1
SPEAKER_00
but for his extraordinary spirit and endurance.
1
SPEAKER_00
His teammates, inspired by his story of overcoming, dubbed him the Kansas Flyer, a name that reflected his swift pace and his soaring spirit.
1
SPEAKER_00
The pinnacle of Glenn s athletic journey unfolded in the electrifying atmosphere of Madison Square Garden in February 1934.
1
SPEAKER_00
There, amidst the roaring cheers of the crowd, Glenn did what was once unthinkable.
1
SPEAKER_00
He ran the mile in four minutes and eight seconds, setting a new record for the fastest indoor mile.
1
SPEAKER_00
But his story didn t pause there.
1
SPEAKER_00
Later that year, in an outdoor track meet, he broke yet another record, running the fastest mile ever recorded up until that point.
1
SPEAKER_00
So reflecting on Glenn Cunningham s life story, let us distill three profound lessons that resonate deeply and offer practical guidance
1
SPEAKER_00
for overcoming our own challenges.
1
SPEAKER_00
These insights are enriched by lessons from psychology, neuroscience, and the study of human behavior.
1
SPEAKER_00
The first lesson that we learn is how Glenn overcame victimhood using the power of resilience.
1
SPEAKER_00
Optimism isn t merely hoping for the best.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s an active belief in our ability to influence positive outcomes despite adverse circumstances.
1
SPEAKER_00
This mindset is foundational for overcoming victimhood, as it transforms potential despair into proactive resilience, illuminating our paths during the most challenging times.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s the conviction that no matter how challenging the circumstance, a positive outcome is waiting to be achieved.
1
SPEAKER_00
By adopting this outlook, optimistic individuals focus on crafting solutions
1
SPEAKER_00
rather than dwelling on the magnitude of their problems.
1
SPEAKER_00
Research in positive psychology has repeatedly validated the power of this approach.
1
SPEAKER_00
Findings, including those from the National Library of Medicine, reveal that optimists generally enjoy lower stress levels, better health, and enhanced overall well-being, allowing them to handle life s challenges with greater resilience.
1
SPEAKER_00
However, optimism must be coupled with strong determination to truly rise above adversity.
1
SPEAKER_00
Determination moves us forward against the odds, ensuring that we are not passive victims of our circumstances.
1
SPEAKER_00
It is the refusal to be defeated by circumstances beyond one s control.
1
SPEAKER_00
the unwavering commitment to achieve one s goals and live one s best life, no matter how contrary the current situation may be.
1
SPEAKER_00
Angela Duckworth highlights in her book, Grit, the critical role of determination in overcoming obstacles.
1
SPEAKER_00
Expanding upon this, my book, Passion Struck, delves into how optimism combined with determination forms a potent force that can dismantle the barriers of victimhood, empowering us to overcome even the most daunting of obstacles.
1
SPEAKER_00
So let s discuss how you can apply these insights to your life.
1
SPEAKER_00
When faced with obstacles, rejecting victimhood and taking ownership of our circumstances can lead to significant personal growth and success.
1
SPEAKER_00
This approach involves recognizing the problem, understanding what can be controlled, and taking deliberate actions towards change.
1
SPEAKER_00
So here are some actions that you can take to overcome victimhood.
1
SPEAKER_00
The first is to acknowledge and accept.
1
SPEAKER_00
Recognize your challenges, but don t let them overpower your sense of self.
1
SPEAKER_00
Acceptance is not about giving up.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s about understanding your reality so that you can move forward effectively.
1
SPEAKER_00
Second, empower yourself with choice.
1
SPEAKER_00
Every day we face choices about how to respond to our circumstances.
1
SPEAKER_00
Remember, you can choose resilience and proactive action over resignation.
1
SPEAKER_00
Third, set personal goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
Define what success looks like for you beyond your immediate challenges.
1
SPEAKER_00
Pursuing these goals actively counters any feelings of victimhood and empowers you towards achievement.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fourth, seek inspirational examples.
1
SPEAKER_00
Draw inspiration from stories like Glenn s and others.
1
SPEAKER_00
who have transformed their adversities into strengths.
1
SPEAKER_00
These narratives can provide both a roadmap as well as encouragement to navigate your challenges.
1
SPEAKER_00
By actively rejecting victimhood, you can redefine your identity beyond your challenges.
1
SPEAKER_00
This proactive stance fosters personal resilience and inspires others to view their struggles through a lens of capability and action.
1
SPEAKER_00
The second thing we can learn is the importance of harnessing support, which we can see from Glenn Cunningham s resilience.
1
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s recovery was significantly propelled by the steadfast support from his family.
1
SPEAKER_00
This kind of backing embeds a sense of possibility and strength during times of doubt and struggle.
1
SPEAKER_00
For anyone facing personal struggles,
1
SPEAKER_00
Actively seeking and nurturing relationships that provide emotional and practical support can be crucial.
1
SPEAKER_00
These relationships help buffer against life stresses and enhance our ability to navigate hardships with greater resilience and optimism.
1
SPEAKER_00
And there are many psychological benefits that come from strong support systems.
1
SPEAKER_00
Research from the American Psychological Association
1
SPEAKER_00
underscores the importance of social support in improving mental and emotional health.
1
SPEAKER_00
Individuals with robust support networks tend to experience lower levels of anxiety, as well as depression, and have better coping mechanisms during high stress.
1
SPEAKER_00
This support can manifest in various ways.
1
SPEAKER_00
Emotional reassurance.
1
SPEAKER_00
physical help, or guidance and advice during critical moments.
1
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s story highlights the need to cultivate and maintain relationships that uplift you, as well as sustain you.
1
SPEAKER_00
These bonds can significantly influence your psychological well-being, providing a foundation of stability and encouragement that is critical during challenging times.
1
SPEAKER_00
So how do you apply these insights to your life?
1
SPEAKER_00
Consider your current support system.
1
SPEAKER_00
Are there relationships that you could strengthen or new connections you could foster?
1
SPEAKER_00
Being proactive about building a support structure is not just about having people to lean on during times of crisis, but also about enhancing your everyday resilience and your capacity to pursue your goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
So how do you take action on creating this support network?
1
SPEAKER_00
First, evaluate your current relationships.
1
SPEAKER_00
Identify which relationships provide positive support and actively cultivate them.
1
SPEAKER_00
Second, expand your network.
1
SPEAKER_00
Engage in local or online communities that align with your interests.
1
SPEAKER_00
These can offer new perspectives and support.
1
SPEAKER_00
Third, be a supportive presence.
1
SPEAKER_00
Just as you seek support, be sure to offer it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Supporting others can reinforce your own sense of purpose and strengthen your relationships.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fourth, communicate openly.
1
SPEAKER_00
Don t hesitate to express your needs.
1
SPEAKER_00
Often people around us are willing to offer support, but might not be aware of your struggles.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fifth, celebrate and share your successes.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let your network share in your achievements, no matter how small, which can energize both you and them.
1
SPEAKER_00
Glenn Cunningham s story teaches us that no accomplishment is solely individual.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s the strength of our relationships that often carries us through to achieving remarkable things.
1
SPEAKER_00
By applying these principles, you can build a resilient, supportive environment that not only helps you overcome challenges,
1
SPEAKER_00
but also propels you forward towards fulfilling your ambitions.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the third important lesson that Glenn s story teaches us is the importance of incremental progress.
1
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s journey embodies the stoic philosophy articulated by Marcus Aurelius.
1
SPEAKER_00
A man s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.
1
SPEAKER_00
This belief underscores the importance of setting high goals and diligently working towards them, regardless of initial setbacks.
1
SPEAKER_00
Glenn s ability to overcome his physical limitations and excel as an athlete was not just about sports.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was a profound declaration of his refusal to be defined by victimhood.
1
SPEAKER_00
By setting such a high goal, Glenn aligned with Aurelius  philosophy, embodying that our true value lies in our capacity to aspire and to strive for great heights.
1
SPEAKER_00
The neuroscience behind incremental progress involves the brain s reward system.
1
SPEAKER_00
where each small victory triggers a dopamine release, enhancing feelings of pleasure and satisfaction.
1
SPEAKER_00
This biochemical response motivates continued effort and reinforces the behavior that led to victory, making it more likely to be repeated.
1
SPEAKER_00
Recent advancements in neuroscience
1
SPEAKER_00
also recognize the brain s remarkable malleability, often called brain plasticity.
1
SPEAKER_00
Research has shown how neural connections change with experience.
1
SPEAKER_00
Practices like consistent training can lead to the growth of new connections, the strengthening of existing ones, and the development of insulation that speeds the transmission of impulses.
1
SPEAKER_00
These neuroscientific discoveries reinforce the significance of incremental progress.
1
SPEAKER_00
With each small step, we move
1
SPEAKER_00
closer to our goals, and physically enhance our brain s capacity to handle new challenges.
2
SPEAKER_01
Each day of training not only brought him closer to physical recovery, but also reinforced his neurological pathways, making each subsequent effort slightly easier and more efficient.
2
SPEAKER_01
This illustrates how perseverance and practice play crucial roles in achieving ambitious goals, underpinned by psychological resilience and physiological changes in the brain.
2
SPEAKER_01
In his path to overcoming victimhood and achieving his goals, Glenn also demonstrated the importance of harnessing support.
2
SPEAKER_01
His family and community s unwavering encouragement gave him the emotional and physical reinforcement needed to persist through numerous challenges.
2
SPEAKER_01
The support system was crucial in maintaining his optimism and determination.
2
SPEAKER_01
Pivotal elements, when coupled with his ambitious goals, propelled him forward despite all odds.
2
SPEAKER_01
So let s now discuss how you apply these insights to your life.
2
SPEAKER_01
First, define ambitious goals.
2
SPEAKER_01
Inspired by Glenn Cunningham and Marcus Aurelius, identify ambitious goals that challenge and expand your potential.
2
SPEAKER_01
These goals should inspire significant effort and commitment.
2
SPEAKER_01
Second, embrace incremental progress.
2
SPEAKER_01
Break down your ambitious goals into manageable, actionable steps.
2
SPEAKER_01
Celebrate each small achievement as these successes provide motivational feedback that keeps you committed and moving forward.
2
SPEAKER_01
Third, maintain a resilient mindset.
2
SPEAKER_01
Foster resilience by focusing
2
SPEAKER_01
on solutions rather than problems.
2
SPEAKER_01
Embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and develop, remembering that your response to adversity defines your journey and outcomes.
2
SPEAKER_01
Fourth, leverage neuroplasticity.
2
SPEAKER_01
Understand that your actions, through good strategies, continuous practice, and maintaining healthy habits,
2
SPEAKER_01
are shaping your immediate abilities and physically reshaping your brain to better meet future challenges.
2
SPEAKER_01
So how do we embrace the lessons of Glenn Cunningham s journey?
2
SPEAKER_01
Glenn Cunningham s story, his early tragedy, his battle against the odds, and his ultimate triumph resonates far beyond the tracks that he ran on.
2
SPEAKER_01
Enriched by Marcus Aurelius  wisdom and recent neuroscientific insights,
2
SPEAKER_01
It offers a compelling blueprint for anyone looking to overcome personal challenges and achieve significant life goals.
2
SPEAKER_01
By setting high ambitions, acknowledging small victories, and harnessing the power of support, we can all aspire to reach our full potential.
2
SPEAKER_01
From Glenn s life, we learn that the challenges that we face can be transformed into stepping stones for success if they re approached with the right mindset.
2
SPEAKER_01
By adopting his strategies, you can apply these lessons to your own challenges.
2
SPEAKER_01
obstacles as opportunities to grow stronger and more capable.
2
SPEAKER_01
This begins with the conscious decision to reject any form of victimhood and to assert control over your circumstances.
2
SPEAKER_01
It also teaches us to build a network of support and to be a part of other support systems.
2
SPEAKER_01
Relationships are fundamental to overcoming challenges, not just for emotional comfort, but also for achieving tangible goals.
2
SPEAKER_01
And lastly, it teaches us to advance through small steps.
2
SPEAKER_01
Set clear, ambitious goals for yourself and break them down into manageable actions.
2
SPEAKER_01
Celebrate small victories along the way as each step contributes to building your confidence and your capabilities.
2
SPEAKER_01
Let Glenn Cunningham s story inspire you to examine your own life and challenges.
2
SPEAKER_01
Identify areas where you can reject victimhood, solicit support, and make incremental progress towards your goals.
2
SPEAKER_01
Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
2
SPEAKER_01
Take that step today and start shaping your path to triumph, just as Glenn did.
2
SPEAKER_01
By embracing these principles,
2
SPEAKER_01
Not only can you transform your own life, but you can also inspire and empower those around you to do the same.
2
SPEAKER_01
As you move forward, share your story and the lessons that you are learning along the way.
2
SPEAKER_01
Your journey can be a beacon of hope and a source of strength for others facing their own battles.
2
SPEAKER_01
Together, let s form a community of resilient individuals who draw strength from one another and honor Glenn s legacy by living our lives with the same courage, determination, and resilience that he demonstrated.
