How do you handle tough times and "set-backs" in life?
One Nashville teen uses his "set-backs" as a means to push forward. Meet Zach Lipson; who resists the temptation of self-pity and instead faces each challenge as an inspiration to greatness! At only 4 feet tall, Zach (who has been through 30+ surgeries in his short lifetime) stands head and shoulders over anything life throws at him.

"I wouldn't be the (person) I am today without my deformities," Lipson said. "I've used them to make myself a stronger human being. That's a very radical idea. That's how I want to be an inspiration to people. I want to tell people you don't have to fall and beat yourself up over your problems. You can take them and help them make you stronger. You can turn a losing situation into a winning situation."
I think we all can take a "page" from Zach's textbook on life!
