On New Year’s Eve, a woman was bungee jumping, the cord broke, she fell into a river and had to swim back to land in crocodile-infested waters with a broken collarbone. Claire Champlin was smashed in the face by a five-pound watermelon being propelled by a slingshot. Mathew Brobst was hit by a javelin. David Striegl was actually punched in the mouth by a kangaroo. The most amazing part of these stories is when asked about the experience they all smiled, shrugged and said “I guess things could’ve been worse.” So go ahead, tell me you’re having a bad day. Tell me about the traffic. Tell me about your boss. Tell me about the job you’ve been trying to quit for the past four years. Tell me the morning is just a townhouse burning to the ground and the snooze button is a fire extinguisher. Tell me the alarm clock stole the keys to your smile, drove it into 7 am and the crash totaled your happiness. Tell me. Tell me how blessed are we to have tragedy so small it can fit on the tips of our tongues. When Evan lost his legs he was speechless. When my cousin was assaulted she didn’t speak for 48 hours. When my uncle was murdered, we had to send out a search party to find my father’s voice. Most people have no idea that tragedy and silence often have the exact same address. When your day is a museum of disappointments, hanging from events that were outside of your control, when you feel like your guardian angel put in his two weeks notice two months ago and just decided not to tell you, when it seems like God is just a babysitter that’s always on the phone, when you get punched in the esophagus by a fistful of life. Remember, every year two million people die of dehydration. So it doesn’t matter if the glass is half full or half empty. There’s water in the cup. Drink it and stop complaining. Muscle is created by lifting things that are designed to weigh us down. When your shoulders are heavy stand up straight and call it exercise. Life is a gym membership with a really complicated cancellation policy. Remember, you will survive, things could be worse, and we are never given anything we can’t handle. When the whole world crumbles, you have to build a new one out of all the pieces that are still here. Remember, you are still here. The human heart beats approximately 4,000 times per hour and each pulse, each throb, each palpitation is a trophy, engraved with the words “You are still alive.” You are still alive. So act like it.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rudy Francisco" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/rudy-francisco/on-may-26th-2003-aaron-ralston-was-hiking-a-boulder-fell-on-his-right/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1da/rudy-francisco-24534_alarm-clock_on-may-26th-2003-aaron-ralston-was-hikin_1346286.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1da/rudy-francisco-24534_alarm-clock_on-may-26th-2003-aaron-ralston-was-hikin_1346286.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1da/rudy-francisco-24534_alarm-clock_on-may-26th-2003-aaron-ralston-was-hikin_1346286.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“On May 26th, 2003, Aaron Ralston was hiking, a boulder fell on his right hand, he waited four days, he then…” — Rudy Francisco", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/assaulted/rudy-francisco/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/assaulted/rudy-francisco/", "name": "Assaulted Quotes by Rudy Francisco", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/assaulted/rudy-francisco/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1da/rudy-francisco-24534_alarm-clock_on-may-26th-2003-aaron-ralston-was-hikin_1346286.jpg" }, "description": "1 Assaulted quotes by Rudy Francisco.
