Hello readers, and I hope everyone is having a great week. Last week I briefly introduced myself and gave a little insight into what this blog is going to be about. Today I want to elaborate about why I feel I am able to write about motivating others.

Twelve years ago, when I was 25, I was involved in a car accident. I was hit head on by a drunk driver that went down the wrong side of a highway while I was on my way to work. During the flight to the hospital I literally died four different times. Ultimately the doctors were able to stabilize me, but I was left paralyzed from my chest down. Since that day I have devoted myself to overcoming my struggles and helping other people deal with their struggles as well. Since that day I have endured a great deal of obstacles that tried to keep me from recovering, becoming independent, and living life in a positive way. Many times in the past 12 years I have dealt with sadness, regret, loss, and many other emotions that come with dealing with a tragedy that has happened to you.

Since I have devoted myself to helping others make their lives better, whether or not they have had a physical injury, I will post at least one message each week in this blog and give you an example of what it took for me to beat many of the challenges that I have faced and continue to battle with. I just hope that these posts in some way help you to make your life better, stronger, more positive, and more fulfilling.
