“We have to decide to get back up”

(KSL) You can usually tell how well a motivational speaker is doing by how quickly the audience pays attention especially for how long they pay attention.

Whenever Gabe Adams enters a room, he knows he has his crowd right away.

He starts his speech by going across the stage and then falling down.

“Sometimes in life, we fall down. But we have to decide to get back up,” he said.

It may sound like a gimmicky statement on paper, but in real life, Adams has no arms and legs.

When he falls after hopping, the crowd usually gasps.

“Who thinks I should get back up?” he asked the crowd.

When they respond “yes,” Adams is able to twist his body upright and the crowd cheers.

If only he received cheers everywhere he went.

“I’m very familiar with the look. It hurts sometimes, but it’s definitely something that’s going to happen to me everywhere I go, no matter what,” said Adams.

In airports, restaurants, stores, or wherever he goes, Adams can feel everyone staring.

“People are people, so you just got to let it go,” he said.
