 Aaron Lee Ralston was born on October 27, 1975 in Ohio, but the mountains of Colorado attracted his family to move when he was just a kid. And Aaron began tackling the mountains when he was only 11 years old. He went to university and got a degree in engineering. After graduating, Aaron moved to Aspen, Colorado and pursued a life of rock climbing. On Saturday, April 26, 2003, without telling anyone his plans, Aaron packed his hiking boots, a hydration system, his backpack, climbing equipment and notably, a pocket-sized utility tool, put his mountain bike in the back of a truck and drove almost 5 hours to a remote part of Utah. Aaron went hiking alone near Robbers Roost while exploring the canyons alone in Utah. He fell through a narrow slot canyon. During the fall, a boulder came loose and peened his arm against the canyon wall, preventing him from being able to move. Aaron then made several futile attempts to chip away the boulder with his utility knife, but it was already reasonably blunt. And this just made it worse. The first night, as darkness descended on the Utah canyon lands, Aaron realized just how alone he was. Aaron was able to survive the incident with some food and a bottle of water, which kept him alive in the desert heat canyon for the next five and a half days, which is 127 hours. He struggled to get free to no success, but he was able to use some tools he had brought with him to get loose, but the way Aaron escaped was too gruesome. He began amputating his arm. That was an incredible tale of survival. Aaron managed to amputate his arm to set himself free. Covered in blood, he began marching out of the canyon until he was found by a family that went out hiking. The family called the emergency services that saved Aaron. Hollywood later brought Aaron's story and made a fantastic film about Aaron's accident and they called it 127 hours. After how long he spent, trapped in there. Aaron had actually filmed himself with his own video camera as he was trapped, so the filmmakers were able to witness the real-life footage. Since the accident, Aaron had been back to Blue John Canyon with friends. He has kept climbing and became the first person to climb all 59 of Colorado's mountain peaks on his own. Today, Aaron is a millionaire with an estimated net worth of $4 million. Think about this. Most people in Aaron's shoes would have given up. Most people would have let go of their life, but Aaron was courageous and willing to fight for his life. As you woke up this morning, regardless of whatever you're facing right now, your only hope is to remain determined, to be committed to victory or freedom at all cost. William Faulkner once wrote, You cannot swing for new horizons until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. You cannot achieve your dream except you're able to focus on what it means to achieve it. You have to stop seeing the present pains and woes. You have to focus on the future and be willing to fight hard until you get there. The author of The Alchemist, Paulo Coleo, said an I quote, Be brave, take risks, nothing can substitute experience. As you woke up this morning, be determined to face your goal with courage, be willing to attempt the unknown, to dare the difficult, and to try what most people want. And for someone who would say, But I've tried all I could and have lost all my strength, well, here's what Napoleon Bonaparte had to say. Courage isn't having the strength to go on. It is going on when you don't have the strength. The genuinely courageous people of those who go on despite having no strength to go on. Don't forget to share this video and subscribe to our channel.
