A motorcycle accident in 1997 would leave me with severe chronic pain and a paralysed left arm, but would change my life for the better, become the greatest teacher I ever had and take my life on an inspirational path that I would never change. Join me on this journey and see how I turned tragedy into victory.

A lot of people, not just chronic pain patients, struggle to understand why I feel the way I do about life with constant pain and adversity. I've even faced criticism because of my beliefs.

Having only recently discovering for myself this school of thought, I found the writings from such noted philosophers such as Zeno, Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius aligned perfectly with what I had taught myself. These have helped me navigate my way succe
