Tori Geiger has faced challenges that most of us can only imagine in our wildest dreams. Since birth she has lived with congenital heart defects and has thought she wouldn't make it multiple times since then. But that hasn't stopped her from living her best life and chasing her dreams.

Most people who live with conditions like that are resigned to live a boring life as long as they're still alive. Not Tori. She was a collegiate athlete, and now runs a successful bookkeeping firm to help other small businesses run successfully. She also is one of the best people I know at practicing gratitude, and I only hope that one day I can be as good as her at remembering to be grateful for the challenges we face in life as well.
