9 MIRACLES

Life is not fair! I'm living proof. On the night of November 19th, 2010 while on patrol I was ambushed from behind, shot nine times and left for dead. I had the choice to give up! The shooter was standing over me firing bullet after bullet. What happened next defies the odds. I got up! How? Why? Was it attitude, family influence, true grit, will to live or training?

Give me the opportunity to share the "how" and "why" I got up and never gave up. I'll share practical tools and techniques that extended my existence on this green earth. I believe your experience can lift your organization's successful transformations.

Surviving, living, and thriving in the workplace begins before work ever starts. There is a creative balance to the start of each day. It sustained me before and through this horrific ordeal. It continues to do so which has been a refining process. Our days are fraught with choice and perspective. I'll share what it takes to achieve breakthrough performance.

I grew up poor with a terminally ill mother stricken with Lupus and kidney failure. Heart failure would eventually end her mortality. What is most shocking is the positive attitude she showed through the 24 years I knew her. She showed me that pain in life is inevitable but that the suffering is optional. Give me the chance to inspire your work team. My story is remarkably unbelievable but it came about by the many small daily choices that shape who we are and what we can become.

Nine Miracles

Life is a constant balance between giving into the ease of distraction or overcoming the pain of discipline. Our lives and our identities are defined in this delicate balance. In fact, our circumstances don't determine where we go in life. they only determine where we start. Adversity will always be lurking closely. Take the ups and downs and chalk it up to another learning experience.

True Grit and Resilience

Resiliency is the abillity to carry on no matter what is going around you. Physical resilience starts with mental resilience. Understand that everyone has something to teach you. Be willing to listen and learn. To improve your resiliency from a physical standpoint, get out of your comfort zone everyday. Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and focus on what could go right.

You only live once. False!

"There is a saying in mindfulness that pain in life is inevitable but that the suffering is optional. We all have things happen to us. We all have pain that we experience...but the way we relate to our internal experiences is often what creates the suffering that we have in our life." -Varra-
Everyone that comes into your life is either a blessing or a lesson. The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

Brody, I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for speaking at our Big-D Quarterly meeting. You did a great job and were spot on for our group. As I told you that day, you are the first speaker to receive a "standing ovation" from the team and we have done this meeting for years. Thanks for a great presentation & your service. Much appreciated.

"Dear Ranger Brody, First off, thank you for visiting us! It was really nice to hear such an inspirational story. being in a treatment center I hear a lot of tragic stories and trauma from victims like myself. People are not usually so able to forgive and find the perks in life afterwards. You're upbeat and seem to be happy. I admire your dedication to your family. One of my favorite parts (other than the lion dog example) was the quote that ended in"you don't have to taste good." To me it meant no matter what ends up happening ther is always a little piece of hope you can hold onto. Sometimes that little piece of hope saves your life. It has changed mine and a your living proof that it saved yours. I can imagine your story being a difficult one to tell so thank you for being brave yesterday and every time you tell it."

I don't post on here very often because I think most things on Facebook are negative and un-motivating. This story however is inspirational, motivating and heroic. I've had the privilege of working with and getting to know this man! He has affected me in such a positive way that I would dare say he has changed my life! He has given me the strength to triumph over some of my weakest moments. I'm forever grateful for Brody Young's story and for the man he is. Thank you!
