W Mitchell has refused to be overcome by two life-threatening and life-changing accidents–disastrous events, which, if given the power, could have ruled his life to its end. Instead, he decided to make the tragedies that befell him a starting point. When he says, “It’s not what happens to you in life, it’s what you do about it,” you can be sure that he is a living, breathing example of that message to us.
