A quadruple amputee shares advice on handling adversity by focusing on what you can control instead of what you can't. He challenges stereotypes about disabled people, including his own work DJing in nightclubs.
I do believe that even if you experience a very little amount of adversity, that it's something that you can actually reverse engineer because everybody to some extent, experiences stress. Shifting your focus away from that which you can't control to what you can, I think shifts the focus away from things that you need to accept and towards things that you can change. You know, disabled people were meant to be on inspirational Instagram posts or TV commercials or in the fuck Paralympics. And you rarely ever hear of a quadruple amputee DJing in a nightclub on LSD.
