Inspirational





I met up with Tony Christiansen at the Gold Coast Seminar in Sept. Boy is this man inspirational!!!!!!!! He has done more being legless than any man with two functioning legs!!!! What a admirable person he is. He lost his legs when he was 7 years old in an accident. He has never let this be his disability. Of his life achievements, he has accomplished medals in the Para Olympic, fly planes, painter by trade, go karting championship, side car racing, speedway racing, black belt in Tae Kwon Do, life surfer rescue, wheelchair basketball, white water rafting, a loving father of three, grandfather and loving husband and he just climbed the highest mountain in Africa, the Kilimanjaro, and still he keeps powering on and on. Most of all he has got a sense of humour!!!!!! He is just a lovable rogue. and you just want to keep hugging him!!!!!


Being a mischievous person, I ask if I could get a photo with him, with me sitting on his lap on the wheelchair!!! Boy did everyone looked on with horror when I said that. Tony just grinned and said what lap???? Told you he was lovable. Not only did I get to sit on the wheelchair with Tony, he also autographed his two books for me. Check out his books "Race you to the Top" his incredible life story and "Attitude Plus" his secrets of success. Both are excellent readings. Having the opportunity to have met Tony and seeing for myself his achievements and his success and not letting anything gets in his way even without LEGS!!! and also withstanding the discrimination of people perception of his 'disabilities'. His sheer determination to follow his passion, makes me even more inspire and determine to achieve mine.
