Small Steps, How I Walk | Patrick Marcinko | TEDxVirginiaTech

[janetsplace]

You never know who is suffering and has a disability to deal with. Thank you, Patrick, very good talk.

[bigthinking]

Yes Patrick! Keep the big picture in focus but take small, achievable steps to get there. Love it.

[yoursecretstar]

I really appreciated Patrick's game plan of taking small steps each day to get from "a" to "b" and how to build on that. Thanks for sharing that with us.

[agcocoa]

I'm amazed by how often this is the answer to being overwhelmed, and how often I forget to do it!!

[giuliocecchinato]

Always wonderful to hear stories about people finding such strength during their hardships instead of giving up. You should feel so proud of yourself Patrick, well done.

[bellemaba]

It's interesting the parallels between Patricks condition and lots of mental health issues - you can't see it and it stopped him living his everyday life, but managing it with small, achievable goals worked effectively....

[jus-t-s]

What a gift this gentleman has, his presentation style is so engaging and hearing of his trials and journey have been truly inspiring!

[natashafederov]

This is such good advice Patrick! It can be so easy to get overwhelmed and forget that every problem can be split up into small steps.

[kathy-ward]

as someone with a disability, the urge to defiantly take on more at once than you really can is very real.

[jimwebbjr]

my mantra is "make better choices than i did yesterday" good stuff

[rahataleem]

what a FORCE. i have a few friends who need to see this

[rebeccadcarl]

In all honesty I've never heard to Paconica Congenita and my heart went out to Patrick and his defiant attitude that he was going to be fine.

[msamymorin]

What an absolute trooper you are Patrick, well done.

[janiceglanders]

It makes a lot of sense to break down a big scary thing into small, achievable things.

[miyahnna]

I loved the title of Patrick's talk and the rest of it too!! The perfect recipe for doing everything - small steps.

[ThereAreBetterWays]

Man I'm like twenty seconds in and already being reminded about why compassion is so important. That not being able to see it thing is a real doozy.

[cedrickdroui]

Just divide it all up into tiny, doable steps! This is very good, timeless advice

[robertaherron]

It really is a winning formula and I'm surprised by how often I forget it. Little steps, little steps and just take the first one! Just take it instead of looking at it and analyzing it from every angle!

[esfandigabriel]

very inspirational Patrick, thank you for sharing part of your story, PC'ers are the bravest people I've ever seen

[austinjay]

I have a chronic skin condition that really hinders me from doing many things I would like, it's called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I really appreciated this talk. Thank you.
