HOUR 122: How To Change The World At Age 17 with Brandon Farbstein

HOUR 122: Elevating Beyond with Mark Minard, Episode #136: How To Change The World at age 17 with Brandon Farbstein. 

At two years of age Brandon Farbstein was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism, however he never let it define who he was and at age 15 he did his first TedX talk. In this episode he talks about facing adversity head-on, bullying and why you need to face life with a positive attitude. 

Todays takeaway points:

Regardless of the cards you’re dealt with in life, it’s how you play them that really matters. Complaining about your ‘so-called’ poor hand is not serving you, or the people around you. You have to change your mindset. 

Life is too short. You don’t know if you’re going to be here for 30 years or a 100 years, it’s out of your control, however what you can control is how your live each day. Will you live each day with a ‘can-do’ attitude, or a can’t do attitude? 

And, avoid doing things you don’t enjoy. This relates to work, social circles and relationships. 

When it comes to changing the world, it won’t happen overnight, however one small act of kindness could create a ripple effect. Greeting someone with a big smile, may seem insignificant to you, but it could mean a lot to them, becasue you don’t know what’s going on in their life. Pay kindness forward.
