What is the relationship between the situation we find ourselves in, and our experience in the middle of that situation? How much of our experience is created by the situation, and how much is created by us? My friend Joel Sardi does life from a wheelchair. He has a C5 spinal cord injury, no feeling from the chest down, some use of his arms, limited motor skills with his hands, a myriad of other physiological and practical challenges and in the middle of what is (from the outside looking in) a highly-undesirable situation (navigating life with quadriplegia), Joel is as happy, or happier, than most people I meet.
