Go Sports Life

Traumatic injury can have a similar effect.  It's a giant lens that makes you refocus your life.  It's an X-ray for the guts and soul, the ultimate bullshit test.  It forces you to inspect what you're truly made of, past the fatty layers of self-deceit and denial, clear down to the bone and marrow of your true being.  Break your neck and you'll quickly get to know yourself.  Intimately.  You'll learn who your true friends are.  You'll figure out what family really means.  You'll stop worrying about stupid shit.  You'll become thankful for moments that most people would consider inconsequential.  And like Sheehan says, you'll finally become your own potential.
