Most who suffer from kidney
conditions pass through the chronic kidney disease stages and have
some time to adjust. But Nathanael Zurbruegg lost his kidneys as a
one-year-old boy due to a chronic disease and went through years of
kidney transplants and dialysis when each kidney failed.
This up and down cycle broke him and as a young adolescent, after
another transplant failed, he felt that he wanted to end his own
life. From that day on, he received spiritual, emotional, and
physical support. He came to a realization that he had to accept
that "this is my life." At age 13, when another transplant failed
and doctors told him he couldn't receive another one, he realized
he could seek his dreams in other ways, such as through his
imagination.
Eventually, despite dialysis, he
was thrilled to be able to go to Australia. He tells listeners that
even though our bodies may be broken, we can ease our mindset and
set our expectations for a better future. He says that there are
ways to reach for hope and imagine good things about one's future,
and discusses some of the ways he does this.
Eventually, he began public speaking, traveling globally to reach
out to different people around the world. He started his own
website and works to inspire others to not let one's past and
limitations define their future.
