49. College football player Chris Norton was left paralyzed on the field


Listen Later

Chris Norton was living his best college football player life when a split second decision during a kick-off tackle left him paralyzed from the neck down. He was given a 3% chance of ever being able to move again. But those odds didn’t really work for Chris. Fueled with determination, he set a goal for himself that he would walk at his college graduation (and later down the aisle to now wife Emily) and became a viral hero in the process. He shares why choosing your thoughts each day is crucial, and how narrowing frustrations can connect you to a happier, more fulfilled life.
