Cuando la bala de un cazador, dirigida a un venado, alcanzó a Wilmer, entonces un niño de nueve años, y lo dejó paralizado del pecho para abajo, nadie pudo imaginar el impacto que tendría esta tragedia, con repercusiones, no solo en su propia vida y la de su familia, sino en la comunidad global que lo adoptó como uno más de los suyos. En una zona rural y empobrecida del norte de Guatemala, Wilmer tenía pocas opciones para su cuidado y pasó la mayor parte de su adolescencia en un hogar de niños; enojado, confundido, y resentido, hasta que ocurrió algo que cambió su vida. A veces para estar a la altura de las circunstancias, debes elevar tu consciencia, es un adagio que Wilmer acabaría adoptando como propio. Gracias a su obsesión por aprender y escuchar la sabiduría de los demás, Wilmer rápidamente, alcanzo la paz interior. Sin embargo, una complicación persistente a causa del accidente sucedido durante su niñez afectaría la vida de Wilmer, dejando a los médicos sin respuestas. La operación que requería nunca había sido realizada en la historia de la medicina. Pero Wilmer a pesar de todo, rehusándose a abandonar la lucha, comenzó a manifestar un futuro esperanzador a pesar de las adversidades. Conozca la vida de Wilmer, y los principios que definen su legado, por medio de su historia relatada en sus propias palabras. Descubra la actitud que le permitió prosperar en medio de circunstancias que parecían destinadas a destruirlo. Más que nada, permita que la historia de Wilmer le demuestre que quizá la mayor tragedia de nuestra existencia es que muchas veces olvidamos que tenemos el control absoluto de escoger cómo reaccionamos a las experiencias, sacando lo peor o lo mejor de ellas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When a hunter's bullet intended for a deer struck nine-year-old Wilmer, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down, no one could anticipate the impact of this tragedy-with effects rippling to himself and his family, and to the global community that adopted him as their own. In a rural and impoverished area of Northern Guatemala, Wilmer was left with few options for care and spent the majority of his adolescent life living in a home for vulnerable children-angry, confused, and resentful-until a shift occurred that would change his life. "Sometimes to elevate your circumstances, you have to elevate your consciousness," is an adage that Wilmer would ultimately come to embrace as his own. Through an obsession with learning and listening to the wisdom of others, Wilmer began making giant strides, creating tranquility in his internal environment. Yet a lingering complication from his childhood accident eventually circled back into Wilmer's life, leaving doctors without answers. The operation he required had never been attempted in medical history. Refusing to give up the fight, he began to manifest a new future despite his most recent complication. Learn about Wilmer's life-and the principles that define his legacy-through his story, told in his own words. Discover the mindset that allowed Wilmer to thrive amidst circumstances that seemed set to destroy him. Most of all, allow Wilmer's story to demonstrate that perhaps the greatest tragedy of our existence is that we often forget we have complete control over whether we will make the best of our experience, or the worst of it. Note: This book is in Spanish. An English edition is also available.
