life gives him no limits

I am the type that feels, breathes and lives others' emotions for them.

I am the type that searches for examples.
 Examples of people I do or do not know.

I am the type that learns life lessons through your passions and strengths.

I am the type that needs heroes to look up to; 
and Erik Weihenmayer is my hero.

This man breathes and lives the life I wish I can obtain.

If you do not know who Erik Weihenmayer is, you may have heard the story of the first blind guy to ever climb and reach the top of Mount Everest back in 2001. Or maybe you have heard of a show called Expedition Impossible that carries a blind man on one of the teams. That is Erik Weihenmayer. A 43 year old man who is an acrobatic skydiver, long distance biker, marathon runner, skier, mountaineer, ice climber, and rock climber

Oh, and let me remind you incase you already forgot... he is legally blind. 

Erik views the World with no limits; the way I wish to view the World. He has done the most treturous adventures that man can do and he has done it all with his eyes closed. He has helped me realized that it does not matter how great your disability may be or how long it may last, your options are to let yourself conquer the disability instead of the disability conquering you. Or infact, just conquer your fears and push yourself beyond your capacity. There are billions of people in this World that do not conquer their fears and do not view the World with no limits and I will be the first to admit, I am one of them. 

Erik has taught me a valuable life lesson: 

To let down my barriers and to face any fear that comes my way. 

Erik Weihenmayer conquered the World. 

He didn't need to see it. He felt it. He lived it.
