Meeting Scott Rigsby

Last night my husband Cody and I had the pleasure of meeting Scott Rigsby, who’s You Tube video is posted on my website.  Scott was flying into Orange County in California for a speaking engagement and invited us to be his guests. When you stand before a confident man who has achieved the level of success in sports that he has, it is inspiring, to say the least.  I have to say Scott is true to his mission and on purpose.  What an amazing spirit he has, along with a desire to make such a difference in people’s lives.  Scott was speaking about children on stage and mentioned that so many of the children he speaks to, most who have lost limbs, don’t feel unique. Scott tells these children they are unique and special in their own individual way and they love it.

That really made me think about being unique in our own way and that we each have a gift to share that no on else has.  Every one of us has so much to share with the world.  When we stand in Courage, there are very few things we can not accomplish.  Believe in yourself, because you are a unique individual that has value in this life.  Love Life, Live Life-get out there and kick some butt, starting with your own, if that’s what it takes to get you moving forward.  Look to people like Scott who have conquered all odds to achieve goals that encourage you to excel.  Thank you Scott.

Scott Rigsby - Changing the World, One Race at a Time

Scott Rigsby is a double amputee from Southwest Georgia who runs Triatalons, The Iron Man and has set 2 World Records. I was very inspired by his attitude. Scott lives by a simple motto - Do what you can, do the best you can and don’t ever quit. He says you can sit on the sidelines of life or get back in the game. Good words to live by. I call that Living in Courage. Scott says to stay in the game long enough to make something happen. He wants to change the world one race at a time - one person at a time, and to educate the world about prosthetics. I admire you so much Scott. Thank you for encouraging all of us to say no to being defeated on any level. What a great role model you are for others. We will follow your success at Living in Courage, because you represent what this site is about and that is uplifting the human spirit in all of us.
