Turn Around Tragedy From One Who Has

Most of us understand that life has some "ah-ha" moments and even those that slap us in the face. Greg has a story that starts from one of the latter situations. He had a long and difficult journey just to be able to speak to us today. However, he found out a lot about himself during that journey and now is motivated to help everyone he meets do the same. Life is too short to be unhappy or even to simply exist. He helps us see how to kick our life up a notch by running towards what we like instead of avoiding what we dislike.
