Motivation
Imagine waking up one morning to find you’re paralyzed. That’s the grim reality Nicole Malachowski faced. All her life she’d beaten the odds to rise up the ranks, from ace pilot to Air Force Thunderbird to White House advisor. Now, overnight, she’s gone from those heights to rock bottom. She’s suddenly deathly ill – and scared.
For her to pull through would take motivation. The same strength of will that’s powered her through all her achievements.
What motivates you? With Week 7, we explore how you’re able to cope with adversity, overcome it, and aspire to be great.
