If you haven’t seen The Theory of Everything yet, you’re missing out on a great movie. It’s a few years old but it’s a great story about the amazing theoretical scientist and cosmologist, Stephen Hawking.
The Theory of Everything stars 2016 Oscar Award Actor Eddie Redmayne who portrayed Hawking to a tee.
Stephen Hawking could easily go down in history for having one of the greatest minds of all time. Although, he had everything going for himself including an Ivy League education, a brilliant mind and a beautiful girlfriend who eventually turned out to be his wife, his life was turned upside-down when diagnosed with Lou Gehrig Diseases (ALS).
Watching Hawking’s body deteriorate from the debilitating disease just to have all his independence snatch away was pretty to hard too view at times. He was angry, sad and at times, I even thought he might have contemplated taken his own life. The demise of his marriage to the raising of his children to the best of his ability was trying as well. And, being stuck in a body that didn’t work to the point he wasn’t even able to talk, was enough to break his sprit. Everything Hawking went through was enough to cause him to throw in towel if he hadn’t found a purpose to live.
I often speak of attitudinal barriers. These are barriers sometimes posed on those with disabilities from those without disabilities. People who carry these barriers have a bad case of bird-dog. They do not miss too much of anything and tend to think everyone should march to the beat of the same drum. If you’re different, they start throwing major shade in-order to let you know you don’t belong. Hawking had to face these barriers from people such as this for some thought, “How could someone with such a serve disability be able to have such a great mind?”
Eventually, Hawking was finally given a chance to prove how extraordinary he was despite his disability. And, although it took a while he managed to find happiness too.
This true story follows Hawking as he journeys through life achieving great accomplishments and dealing with personal battles. It’s a must see that will hopefully help you appreciate your life a lot more.
Rest in Peace Stephen Hawking. You will go down in history as one of the greatest!
Very insightful Ms. Cooper, as always your message is spot on. Is it possible that the timing is truly coincidental? You really do have special powers!
Thanks Marty,
Yes, the timing of Mr. Hawking’s death and this post is rather unusually. The universe works in a strange way.
Great comments, Shari!
I enjoyed the movie, but embarrassed I could not remember the title. Thanks for John’s my memory. Yes, Mr. Hawking had a great mind and he contributed so much to science. His long survival with ALS is amazing too.
Thanks Mary Ellen!
Mr. Hawking was an amazing man.
Whoops! Translation of “thanks for John’s my memory” is thanks for jogging my memory! Misinterpretation brought to you by DragonDictate.
I have been following Mr. Hawkings for years and when I heard of his passing it truly saddened me. He showed us secrets of the universe. He was remarkable in all that he did. I will miss him.
Thanks for the comment Debbie!
Mr. Hawking’s legacy will live on forever
Thanks Shari. You always share good information that lets us know we can make I no matter what!
Cheryl,
Thanks bunches for all of your great comments! I really appreciate your support!
I haven’t seen this film yet. You have certainly peeked my curiosity.
Linda,
I highly recommend this movie. Let me know what you think of it.
I stopped the ALS medications due to severe side effects. My care provider Dr Miller introduced me to Kykuyu Health Clinic and their amazing ALS/MND treatment. The herbal treatment is a miracle. Reach KHC at www. kykuyuhealthclinic .com The ALS natural formula immensely helped my condition, it reversed my ALS. my slurred speech. And then the inability to eat without getting choked, breathing, and coughing. gradually disappeared. DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!!!
Hope this is allowed here if not I understand. My husband was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) when he was 63 years old 4 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. His arms weakened first, then his hands and legs. He resorted to a wheelchair (Perbombil C300). A year ago, I began to do a lot of research and came across www Health Herbs Clinic com, I decided to start him on the ALS herbal protocol as I had nothing else to turn to; 2 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain and he is even learning to Walk again. visit healthherbsclinic com
My husband started riluzole for my Lou Gehrig’s disease but the disease became resistant. So i started on Ayurvedic treatment from Natural Herbs Centre natural herbs centre . com , I had a total decline in symptoms after the 6 months treatment. This treatment is a breakthrough
