Because our lives are so comfortable and insulated, it’s not often that modern day humans are forced to deal with real adversity. But when we take ourselves out of our comfort zones, that’s where the self-betterment magic happens! Tune in today to hear how Aaron Baker turned what could have been the worst thing to ever happen to him into an adventure he is immensely grateful for.

Meet Aaron Baker:

Aaron is a husband, father, athlete, author, keynote speaker, and ambassador for spinal cord injury. He has spent over two decades rebuilding his body and redefining his life from complete paralysis. Through my adversity, he discovered a profound purpose and a deep passion for empowering others to live the highest version of themselves.

Episode Highlights:

Every challenge can be turned into something positive. When Aaron Baker broke his neck, he was given a very grim prognosis, but he showed the world how powerful human beings can be when we give something our best effort! [03:40]
Adversity pushes us to become the highest versions of ourselves. Our modern lives are too comfortable; we need to seek out challenges in order to really reach our full potential. [06:25]
To determine what really matters to you, think about what you want people to say about you at your funeral. Then do the work to ensure that people do one day say those things about you. [12:28]
Make your health a priority! Aaron has made his body his business, but even if you don’t want to do that, your body still deserves to be looked after to the best of your abilities. [20:00]
Practice gratitude everyday. There is always going to be something more to want but one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is to appreciate what you already have. [23:51]
Aaron’s BASICS methodology: breath, attention, surrender, inspiration, choice, share. Use these as the foundational principles for creating the life of your dreams. [27:31]
