It's easy to become jaded about stories of champion fitness athletes and bodybuilders who've overcome some sort of adversity. But once in a while, we're introduced to a man or woman whose struggle is so compelling, the odds so insurmountable, that it forces us to take notice and get inspired.
The story of Nick Scott is one such account. An ordinary teenager, Nick had the usual aspirations of young men of his age: sports and girls.
But his life changed on Aug. 17, 1998, when a tire blew out on his Buick Skylark. The car rolled over 5-1/2 times, ejected him, and then hit him in the back as a final indignity.
He tells the story in the new video "Rising Up: The Story Of Nick Scott."
In his hospital bed, Nick wasn't certain he'd ever walk again. Paralyzed from the waist down, he fell into a deep depression while his body weight eventually ballooned to more than 300 pounds. Coming back wasn't easy. But eventually, his resilient character began to fight back.
"What's the one thing you gain from losing everything?" he asks. "It's perspective. Because it wasn't about if my glass was half empty or half full. I was just grateful that I had a glass."

@@GailOwens I cannot choose actively to believe in a god. If I there is a lack of sufficient evidence to convince my brain then i can't trick my brain to choose to believe gods exist. Imagine trying to choose to believe that let's say santa clause is real. But I do understand the emotional support it can provide if you believe in one. For me, it's believing in myself or using emotions to drive me. Living without a belief in a god can be just as beautiful and with purpose as living with one.

"What's the one thing you gain from losing everything?" he asks. "It's perspective. Because it wasn't about if my glass was half empty or half full. I was just grateful that I had a glass." Beautifully said. Thank you for including this in the description.

[@Living2PleaseHim]

Wow Nick, what an amazing testimony. I have a good friend of mine, who's husband also competed in the Para Olympics, and was a body builder as well. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago. His name was "Reggie Bennett". Thanks for being such an inspiration Nick. May God's best be yours. Peace & Blessings.

[@wildebeastjr]

+Jabroni And Cheese your comment is irrelevant.

[@jabroniandcheese2494]

So is yours, I was just saying dont feel bad about not doing something just because someone else worse off did something. Otherwise you should feel like shit about every handicapped person achieving success. No one does this shit for recognition, you either make something of your life or you dont, its irrelevant if someone's worse off than another in terms of achieving self success.

[@wildebeastjr]

I’m in tears bro, because we all have a story. I was on my way to become a professional boxer and now I have 2 bulging discs in my neck and can’t do that anymore.

[@tiffanyjohnson9835]

So inspirational! I cried when he walked across the stage to get his diploma. I know his mother must have been so proud then, and probably is even more proud now to see all of his accomplishments. Something he said really resonated with me: All of us have disabilities in some way, the difference is that HIS is visible. But even still, he chose to focus on what he CAN do. That's it!! This man is preaching!!!

Thx for the motivation Nick god bless you man.

I have cerebral palsy. I've studied nursing, kinesiology and public health. I have a few fitness certifications. I was thinking the other day, I could've studied writing or history- anything that didn't require the use of my lower body (that is anything but normal). My friend today said I inspired her to try despite limitations. Brought tears to my eyes. I can relate to this video, even though I'm not a body builder. Do what makes you happy 😊❤️

This story made me cry..

They programs laughed and told me not to waste my time any longer at college because it would take me 100 years to graduate. You given me hope and advice thank you from the bottom of my ❤ heart.

Best motivation for someone like me. I was in a car accident about 4 years ago, I was given phibromialga. And that has made my 100% torn minuscus and my torn lateral ligament worse, to where I was put back into a wheelchair again. And I kept feeling miserable. But awhile back even before I saw this video, I finally rolled into a gym for the first time in a wheelchair after feeling afraid of being turned away, and I had many people say how they admired someone like me for just not giving up when I think things are hopeless.
