The irritating tremor in his foot turned out to be early onset Parkinson's disease. He was only 46 years old. But what seemed to be an end became a new beginning. Just three years later, Hague won the inaugural \u003ci\u003eThe Amazing Race Canada\u003c\/i\u003e (with his son, Tim Jr., as his teammate). His remarkable life story shows that perseverance is not just a matter of willpower: it is a skill that can be learned and honed. \u003cbr\u003e     And perseverance is the theme of his life. From the day he was born, Hague has gone from one struggle to another. Yet, remarkably, he doesn't have a trace of self-pity. In fact, he feels blessed. From his tough start in life as an unwanted mixed-race baby born in Texas in 1964, to his eventual move to the unforgiving climate of Winnipeg, Canada, to start a family under difficult circumstances, and his continuing battle with Parkinson's--Hague's life is a roadmap of perseverance. \u003cbr\u003e    Parkinson's has forced him to retire early from the work he loves as a registered nurse. But as a healthcare professional, and now suffering from a challenging disease himself, Hague discusses living with Parkinson's like no one else could. He now works with charities to help promote Parkinson's awareness and his \"Live Your Best\" message. Drawing on his experience winning \u003ci\u003eThe Amazing Race\u003c\/i\u003e, and referencing cutting-edge research and studies, Hague weaves a moving story of failure and success, outlining the elements of his philosophy that anyone can apply to their own lives, including:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e  *  The nature of luck: \u003c\/b\u003eLuck comes to those who keep trying until the end--never stop until the race is over.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e*\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eFind community:\u003c\/b\u003e As a nurse, a husband and father, and a man living with Parkinson's, Hague knows better than most that we all need to ask for help sometimes, and that's a good thing.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e*\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAccept limits:\u003c\/b\u003e By focusing on what we can do, we accomplish more than we ever thought possible.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e*\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eCease striving: \u003c\/b\u003eWe think of striving as a positive attribute, but all we end up doing is banging our heads against the wall. Have goals, but have fun. Do not create anxiety out of nothing and maintain perspective.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e*\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eLive Your Best:\u003c\/b\u003e No such thing as giving 110%--can only do \u003ci\u003eyour\u003c\/i\u003e best. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspirational and entertaining, Hague's message is both simple and profound: perseverance isn't just something a person has, or a trait we admire in others. Hague's book, like his life, is a guide to how we can all learn to persevere in the face of daily struggles--or even life-changing illness.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50947817799968,"sku":"9780735233683","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780735233683.jpg?v=1763594559","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/perseverance","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
