The day I nearly died

As Seth Godin says, when we think of accidents we usually think of negative occurrences. 

• Dropping a vase
• Website crashing
• Car crashing
• Piano on your foot
• Catching a virus

But how about rejoicing the positive accidents that have you right here, today?

• Your privileged birth
• Your safe, warm environment
• The people all around you
• The skills you can get paid for
• The infinite choices in front of you

Any of those accidents could have had an exponentially worse outcome.

Maybe it’s about time to leverage the opportunities those lovely accidents have created.

PS: My biggest car crash to date was getting t-boned at 140mph by a fellow competitor at Rockingham Motor Speedway in 2004. Truly terrifying, but thankfully I was unscathed. Unlucky, yet lucky at the same time. Here’s the pic.
