Objective Jerk

Send us a text

I share an unexpected email exchange with Air Force veteran Kijuan Amey who lost his sight in a motorcycle accident but transformed his tragedy into inspiration through his motto "I have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision."
• Introduction to Kiwan Aimey, a 10-year Air Force veteran who lost his eyesight in a 2017 motorcycle accident
• Discussion of Kijuan's remarkable journey from military service to founding "Amy Motivation" after his injury
• Reflections on whether it would be more difficult to be born blind or lose sight later in life
• Comparison between losing hearing versus sight and how our preferences might change with age
• Exploration of Kijuan's positive mindset and his upcoming book "Don't Focus on Why Me"
• Personal thoughts on the importance of mental attitude when facing adversity
• Connection with other inspirational stories like Jeremy Renner's recovery from his snowcat accident
• Consideration of how pessimism versus optimism affects our quality of life
If you're looking for inspiration or something positive to focus on instead of the negativity in the world, check out Kijuan Amey's story and his book "Don't Focus on Why Me."
Again, thanks for hanging out with me!
