<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://belowthemendozaline.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/italo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-219" title="Italo" src="http://belowthemendozaline.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/italo.jpg?w=150&#038;h=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>If you are having a tough time finding some motivation, take a look at this video, and then throw away every excuse you&#8217;ve ever made for yourself!  His Name is Italo Romano, and he is truly inspiring.</p>
<p>While many would look at Italo and immediately begin assessing all of the things he cannot do because of his disability, his spirit and determination to prove what still IS POSSIBLE can&#8217;t be described as anything other than AMAZING.</p>
<p>I realize I have been struggling to maintain consistency with my blog posts, and prior to seeing this video, had manufactured several legitimate excuses as to why.  I can thank Italo, for not only providing me with some fantastic blog content, but also all the motivation I need to get back to blogging consistently.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="http://penseskate.net/blog/img/lightbox/italo_romano_1323409057._bs_flip_180.jpg" title="BS Flip 180" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p>Grundsätzlich respektiere ich zwar jeden, aber es gibt Menschen, vor denen habe ich fast Ehrfurcht, Italo Romano zum Beispiel. Ich höre teilweise so lächerliche Ausreden warum gesunde Menschen nicht skaten, snowboarden oder einfach laufen oder klettern und so weiter. Gelenke sind sowieso immer schuld, eine &#8220;tragische Verletzung&#8221;, die unter Begeisterten schon fast zum Aufwärmen gehört, oder, ganz beliebt, &#8220;Ich bin zu alt für solche Scherze&#8221;. Aha, zu alt zum Reifen, viel Spaß beim Verfaulen, Gammelbrocken. Ich gönne jedem die Faulheit, der dazu steht &#8211; Aber diese Mauler, die ja angeblich schon so gut waren dass sie gar nichts mehr machen müssen und ohnehin zu gut und exclusiv mit C sind, da kommt mir das Kotzen.<br />
Sogar ein Zug kann dir &#8220;nur&#8221; die Beine nehmen, aber niemals deinen Traum. Beide mit dreizehn in einem Zugunglück zu verlieren und danach wieder auf&#8217;s Brett zu steigen statt noch siebzig Jahre im elektrischen High-Tech-Rollstuhl zu jammern, wie schlecht dieses Schicksal ist, dahinter steckt mehr Charakter als hundert dieser Lügner gemeinsam aufbringen. Wachstum bedeutet nicht, regelmäßig Knödel zu essen bis die Tante die &#8220;groß-und-stark&#8221;-Schiene fallenlässt, Wachstum bedeutet, mit allen Mitteln, die dir zur Verfügung stehen, zu trainieren. So gesehen sind ein Kopf, ein Rumpf und zwei Arme jede Menge, was damit möglich ist schau&#8217; dir bitte selbst an. Und sag&#8217; nie mehr, du kannst nicht, steh&#8217; zu deinem Nichtwollen, wenn du dich angesprochen fühlst. Ansonsten wirst du bald zu den vielen gehören, die ihre Schwächen durch Betrug und Kompensation verstecken, sich Stärken zuschreiben wo es keine gibt und in dieser gewaltigen Ego-Inszenierung ihre tatsächlichen Stärken unter dieser genormten Decke ersticken, aus Angst vor Entblößung. Lass&#8217; diese Decke, dein Ego, deine Person fallen, geh&#8217; raus und mach was aus dir. Wie du siehst muss nicht einmal dein Körper gehen können. Aber wenn du zum Beispiel bereit bist, anfangs als &#8220;Krüppel&#8221; aus den Parks gebuht und ausgelacht zu werden um an diesem Ziel festzuhalten, auf Händen skaten zu können, sind dein Geist und deine Seele so standhaft und im Lebensfluss dass sie das Gehen übernehmen können. &#8220;Alles, was du bist und was du wirst, liegt nur an dir selbst&#8221;, es gibt keine Behinderungen. China wusste das, du kannst es jetzt lernen:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you could for a second, just imagine having no legs. For <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Italo-Romano/196718417010527">Italo Fernandes Romano</a>, that&#8217;s a very sad reality. At the age of thirteen, Italo lost his legs in a train accident while playing with friends.</p>
<p>However, at the age of 23, Italo is considered to be on of the best Brazilian skateboarders in the world! If you don&#8217;t believe me, watch the video below! Italo, despite losing both his legs, is able to possess passion, skill, and drive to be one of the greatest skateboarders.</p>

<p>I claim a lot of things inspire me.  But when I saw this video on a friends Facebook it made me take a step back.  Anytime you are feeling down about something, remember that things could always be worse and to be grateful for the things you have and the gifts that are given to us all everyday.  Large or small I think we can all find something to be thankful for, even if it is simply being able to get out of bed in the morning.</p>
