Reggie was down on his luck. The former Marine, who was honorably discharged, was disgusted by his life. After two failed marriages, struggles with drugs, and unemployment, he wanted to end his life. Twenty years ago, he doused himself in gasoline and set himself on fire. As the flames blazed, Reggie realized God had a bigger plan for him and tried to put out the fire.
After spending three months in a coma, Reggie woke up in a hospital bed with severe burns and disfigurements. Despite months of surgeries and skin grafts, he defied doctors' grim prognoses and mustered up the strength to walk again.
Despite his harrowing ordeal, this disabled veteran doesn't want anyone to feel bad for him. He isn't blaming anyone or seeking justice. Instead, he hopes to inspire others to live life to the fullest.
"Enjoy your life," he said. "Try to get everything you can out of life right now, because you never know when your day is going to come."
This is such a refreshing reminder that, no matter what life throws our way, we should be grateful for every precious moment in our lives and not take anything for granted.
