Today I am sharing a video, thanks to Allison B., who was kind enough to share with me the story of this remarkable man.

W Mitchell served as a US Marine and San Francisco cable-car gripman. His life suddenly changed due to two devastating accidents just four years apart: a blazing motorcycle accident and a paralyzing plane crash.

Whether coping with devastating burns over 65% of his body or being sentenced to life in a wheelchair, Mitchell boldly held on to his feisty nature and quick wit. He was determined to maintain control, cope with the changes, and prosper.

That being said, Mitchell talks about how his life really turned around when he realized he realized HE was responsible for his life and what would become of it.

Maybe your life has had too many sad moments, undeniable heartbreaks, tragedies you cannot change. Get ready to be inspired! As Mitchell says, "It's not what happens to you, it's what you do about it."
