00:00Till I am a soul on fire
00:03Come on, John, stay with me
00:11Wake up!
00:12Coming through, coming through
00:13How mad is it?
00:15He has burns to 100% of his body
00:17I want to send out a special hello tonight to a certain young man who's laid up in the hospital
00:24His name is John O'Leary
00:26He's a tough little guy
00:28Boy, you listen to me
00:30You will walk again
00:32When I first came to see you, they said you had no chance
00:37But here you are
00:39You're gonna face challenges when you get out of here
00:42But you can still do almost anything
00:46Do you like to dance, Beth?
00:51No, but I will
00:52Who is that guy?
00:54John O'Leary
00:55He's kind of a legend around here
00:56Why didn't you ask me out the night we met?
01:00I figured you wouldn't want me to
01:01Welcome to the first projects of O'Leary and Bright's construction
01:06Yeah, everybody grab a hard hat
01:12Ladies first?
01:14No
01:14Why would a man who can't hold a hammer choose to be a contractor?
01:19I guess I like to just see houses for what they can be, not what they are
01:23I have a scout troop and I heard about what happened to you
01:27I just thought that my girls might be inspired if you came and talked to them
01:30Oh wow
01:32I may have an idea for a way that we could work together
01:37Public speaking?
01:40I hope you got better at it
01:42I know what it feels like to think you've probably thrown your life away
01:47To move through the adversities of life
01:51We must have a reason to thrive that is bigger than all the challenges that we face
01:57If you focus exactly on loving the life that you're living right now
02:01It's not the life that you think you could have had or should have had
02:05That's the whole deal right there
02:07Everything that you did
02:08Why me?
02:10It seemed like you needed it
02:12You built a good life out of ashes
02:15Remarkable
02:16The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire
