Stories like this never fail to touch my heart and inspire me.
All too often, the only stories we hear about are of successes. People who have crawled their way through trenches, who have bounced back from failure only to reach greatness through grit, perseverance and ingenuity.
But while these achievements definitely help to inspire to reach for their dreams, the overemphasis on them can give an unbalanced impression that there are a lot more people succeeding than the actual reality.
And this is why I love hearing stories like this.
Just a regular, unassuming man struggling through everyday life. He works in a job he doesn't enjoy but it enables him to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. And when he goes home, he takes care of a daughter who can't take care of herself without any thought of what he could get in return.
Just an average, everyday hero. But his journey is no easier than those heroes we hear about conquering the world and living their dreams. And no less honourable.
