have already stopped to think that the great

opportunity of your life

could be at the exact moment more

I’m going to tell her a difficult one.

of my story for you and I’m going

show how our thinking and the way

approach to life has the power to change

everything around us

almost three years ago on the 27th of

September 2012

I was going to take a car trip

celebrated

our first trip together

revellion and we decided to go well

around 5:30 a.m.

morning so as not to catch traffic and so

was made

I went down with two bags and I decided

put one in the trunk because the

car was already very full and there in the

same time when I was trying to put

can not a girl was coming back from

ballad and she had drunk a few

drinks and then she lost control of

her car and end up thinking against the

my boyfriend’s car

At that moment I fell I waited for agile

I went to the hospital and then I had to

for a 14-hour

duration

before I go into surgery I

I got to the doctor

I will not go back then

farewell to no one yet

and she told me not stay calm was

I could only think I was so

scared but I was quiet in ee

at 14 hours of surgery

Well, they’ve tried to save my

leg for everything and they could not

they even take my saphenous

a big scar on this leg but

it was not possible

so they had to amputate and

From now on I will tell

You ‘re how my life changed.

from that day and how

I became someone who is a

I challenge someone to enjoy life to

most importantly, someone who

found

the purpose of life in that I say my

parents came to give me the news of

amputation at 6 o’clock in the morning and my

reaction face so it was okay to talk

Thank God I live, it was just the

I could think of was to thank and

to thank

I felt such great relief and it says

not have lost my life in that

day I did not see me on the right of

complain about losing a leg

I had several uncertainties so I

I did not know how it was going to be

I did not know any

Did you know how a prosthesis was gray?

beige bright mg né

but I knew that I did not know that I was going to

It’s okay that it’s all but me.

I decided not to suffer in anticipation I

I said so I will face each day once

Let’s see how it is that I’m now myself.

I can only thank

Let’s not think about tomorrow and that’s how it was.

that everything happened

it is even in the midst of so many uncertainties

I still had several certainty that each

More day as I was staying in

hospital I thought and talked about this

It ‘s nothing close to my life that is

lose a leg and I ‘m here

I have everyone I love I

could have left without saying goodbye to

and it gave me a lot of strength in the

my recovery

It was not easy for me to recover.

I thought I was going to get there and put

prosthesis goes out and I’m scared

because it was the pain that already felt pain

ghost was very difficult to balance

with the prosthesis it is very difficult to walk

with the prosthesis

but I really wanted to walk then I

I came home crazy to take out a prosthesis.

and I did not take it, I kept the day

whole and so quickly I went back to

floor

I was gradually returning to do everything

What I already did

It was really cool because my 20 years

I could relearn how to do things that I

I had never thought about them

like walking I never had

stopped to think why our arm

accompanies our leg what when the

people do

a ramp our trunk have to

accompany our body and was very

special to me this was very valuable

I said I appreciate it a lot for you

Seeing how amazing these things are.

and putting all value on things that even

the 20 years I thought so small right?

and I went back to doing everything I already

did and started to do things that I

had never done it before like dancing

surf skate

every day I inventing a new thing

I committed myself to myself, I did not

I’ll drop the ball.

I’m going to stay firm and I want to surprise

myself and everyone else who is

my back and I think this was

possible but all this was possible

thanks to four lessons I took

with me every day and that they had

a key role in all this is the

my first edition was not

overestimate what is not essential

for you and that’s for several

Nessi interpretations but two I think

very important

the first topic I want to talk about

problems everyone has

problem everyone is going through

a problem now or has problems

huge inside the house

Only we do not need the weight.

too big for them we can

simply choose how the

People want to face these problems they

they do not need to have a huge weight you

You do not have to waste your whole day of

Brave fuck because of this problem.

leaves it has a smaller weight and the second

thing about overvaluing our

Beauty, this is until I’m 20

I was always focused in the body we

always want a better body to us

He’s working out there working out air-

unsatisfied with a fat and when

such a thing happens when people

suffers an accident that we see that the

people could have lost our lives to

My gosh, God, what a fool for what?

I cared about this, it’s not

anything

each one has its imperfections that way

that life is much cooler every

one has a little fat nose the type

of body

imagine if all

Be the same as the one so dumb, huh?

I’m very proud of my

my scars from all of them in purple

I have knee because it is

telling my story here that

is my story because I

I spent my tone of my hits and I

I think we should think about it more.

than always want to improve and improve

and improving my second lesson is

What I took away from my life is

Do you have any idea whatsoever?

a dream

go after her because she can be yours

last chance

It’s when I suffered my accident.

I have two examples that are small

but they represent a lot this is when

I suffered my accident.

I had just locked a

faculty of administration that I

I had come in and did a year and a half more

my dream had always been to do

journalism and but I did not want to do

journalism because it was very difficult to

arrow is a complicated profession and I

I’ve been trying not to succeed in

management was doing a little

and then two days after my accident

I said my god, I have to do it.

fast journalism my dream is what

I love I would have died 20 years without

do what I love and spend days of

my life without doing what I love

worried about the return cm which

The meaning of this I want to be happy and it was

something I had many is the second

example is a very curious thing as well.

but the first thing I wanted to do

after the accident was to make a

tattoo

nobody was understanding how well

has so much to do because she

want to get a tattoo but soon

of my accident I wanted to make a

tattoo

and I said I will not do too much again, I’ll go

surely regret going forward and

Then I said my god, look so much

thing that I was going to stop doing as

base on numbers of regret

so I went with the two crutches yet

without prosthesis in the studio

tattoo these three at once

I see with 10, I do not know when I’m going.

stop but this little gesture like that

This meant a lot to me because

represents a freedom was

imprisoned in the things I was afraid of

to do for fear of repenting when

I saw that life is so fragile I said

I can not do it, let’s go

take my third lesson and

What is super important to me is

about fear the fear is always here

each one has their fears fear is one thing

totally individual

there are people who are afraid of losing someone

there are people who are afraid of any animal and

I after the accident I developed a

fear too big one of a car I stayed

afraid with no spatial notion

but the biggest was by plane and was a

panic so it is difficult to explain to

Whoever has never suffered from this will have

hand sweated I was sick I cried

it was very difficult for me and that’s mine

first job out of belo horizonte

They invited me to a parade in Sao

paulo and at the same time that I stayed

very happy my god my parade is like

It’s going to be all I said.

I think I’m not going I’m going to invent a

sorry, I’ll tell the patient why

I’m very afraid, I’m sensing

Something bad, I guess it will not work.

and I stayed for a week thinking about what

do

and then I decided and it was very important

for me because I have gone was the point

Even that was what set me free.

made my life possible if so

today I travel weekly travels to

sometimes several times a week I do

international international flights

alone and this might not have been

possible none of this would have happened if

I would have been afraid to overcome that

day I say maybe the same

with me the rest of my life

but what I will always be able to choose

it’s how I face my fear like I

I face my fear

There’s a phrase that I always carry with me.

what is

courageous is not one who does not have

fear is the one who is afraid and even

so go there and do it in all

aspects of our life

fear of risking fear of fear change

to change work from home

This brings me to my last lesson and

to me is more important perhaps a

everything is about change changes

happen at all times the time is

passing has someone shaking hands with

head and has change of all

way changes big and small good

there are some bad ones that we choose

other than what we always will

to be able to choose is how we act

after these changes

I lost my new leg changing it

I chose what happened to me.

but that moment was dealing with the

fact that I did nothing to bring the

sorry nothing back I had lost myself

we could be sad to ask why

with me well at that time I do not travel

I could talk, but see what they are.

waiting to see how this life that

world I do not know how it will be

It’s very cool, it’s changed everything.

I’m sure if I had not

faced with my change with optimism

I would not be here today, maybe mine.

totally different life than she

is today

after these four editions began

sorry for me so much, so i want

stay near my family of mine

friends at home

I value them so much I see how

our valuable life I want to enjoy every

Second, but at the same time I’m

traveling more than normal everything stays

well-known than with the people I

I love and why are you doing this all?

to give you what motivated me emotional

Until today it ‘s knowing that I can help.

people

I can help both people who are

in the same situation as me or people

who are not people who are

perhaps needing a stimulus to

living in freedom to accept is

that motivates me every day I

I have so many plans I have so many

things I want to do yet because

when I suffered my accident

I said I do not know why this

happened when the person told me a

I do not know, but I want to take it.

this as a mission

I want to get this bad fact that

several people considered this

accident is a bad thing had

happened to me and I want to make

The mission of my life I want to do

A true purpose would go to

this prototype and you guys what you

are making the difficult times of the

your life

thanks
