Feeling: Zach spent months in a rehabilitation facility burning with anger at his own incompetence and fearful that his life would be over. He lay in bed allowing the emotions to wash over him. But the rehab experts forced him to get up and learn new mobility tools: how to get out of bed, lift himself into a wheelchair, and use the bathroom. And while he mastered his physical world, he began a parallel journey of finding meaning in his own life.

Meaning: “First I thought my dreams would come to nothing. But then I realized, to pull through I had to stop being afraid, embrace change, and start learning about my new self. What I learned was that I couldn’t rely on my body anymore. I had been strong and capable for my entire life, but that was over. I learned that strength is a mental state, not a physical one, and that emotional resilience is just as powerful as physical resilience if not more so. I learned that pain was just pain, not a disease. I learned that I had become a new person, yet magically I was still the same person. And if I were to get to Africa, my lifelong dream, I’d have to get really creative.”
