If you think you're having a rough day, check out the video with my friend Bruce. He's battled seven different types of cancer and even through his struggles, he continues to give back. His attitude isn't just positive... it is truly inspiring.

Eight years and eight different types of cancer have ravaged Bruce Gelman's body. At this point he isn't even able to physically eat. He has to get special injections that send nourishment directly to his heart every single day.

Despite all of the hardships, one thing you will never hear from Bruce is a complaint. In fact he stays so positive about beating his illness that his own doctors suggested he go home and die,

but Bruce simply says, "No!" He's not finished fighting and he will do whatever it takes to keep the fight going.

He has started to wind down his successful law practice and spend more time with family, that includes his wonderful wife, Bea, who has essentially become his nurse over the last couple of years.

Despite his personal health struggles, he has continued to go out of his way to help others including taking on projects with Get Marty.

Bruce is a fighter with a giant heart and an amazing giving spirit. If there's one takeaway here, it's Bruce's attitude. If we can take just a fraction of that and emulate it in our lives, what a difference we can all make in the world together.
