Life is often times not about what happens to us but how we perceive what has happened to us.\u00a0 This is why some people can have a traumatic experience and they get depressed while others with a very similar experience go out and change the world.<\/p>\n

I came across a talk from Janine Shepherd<\/a> back in March that put this thought into focus.\u00a0 She was an Olympian training on her bike when a vehicle hit hurt and put her in the hospital.\u00a0 She would have multiple injuries that most people would have certainly thought her whole life was over.\u00a0 While she did have to give up her athletic career, she turned the accident into an opportunity to change lives through her speaking, writing, and determination.<\/p>\n

You can view the video below of Janine’s speach.\u00a0 After watching it ask yourself when something rough is going on in your life “How can I turn this into an experience that helps me instead of hinders me?”\u00a0 That question can help you get through just about anything.<\/p>\n
