I will share the ten lessons I learned from my tragedy, that have made everything that matters in my life better than it would have been had I not got caught in that fire that terrible night in 1981. Would I have learned these lessons without my tragedy? Maybe some of them, probably not all. If not for my tragedy, would I feel them as strongly as I do? Absolutely not. But because my "luck" ran out, and because I had to live a different life and experience a different reality from the one I thought I was destined for, I learned these ten lessons in a way I never would have, learned them faster and more deeply, and I want to share them with you/the world. Look: You may live the life you always thought you were destined for. If so, congratulations. But if you're like most people, you're probably not. For me, I had to change my outlook. I had to up my game. I had to really think about what mattered. I couldn't afford to waste my life on what didn't matter. I want to share what I know because I really believe it can make your life better and more meaningful, too.
