Kevin Curnutt was thirteen years old when shot off a dirt bike by a troubled recluse. After that terrible day in Arlington, Texas, Kevin spent fifteen excruciating years of physical therapy trying unsuccessfully to regain the use of his arms and legs, and many more years searching for a way out of deepening despair.
Today, Kevin talks to us about his journey from horror to transcendence (also the title of his new book), and shares his powerful message of love and healing. This an episode you do not want to miss!

Quotable:
“All these serious mtters we keep talking about and worrying about all day long, don't really matter. It's the joy you feel in your heart that matters.”
“I feel like the important thing is what you do on this earth right now, right here. All we have is the present moment. The present moment is now my friend.”
“I started out to save myself, but in saving myself, I found that I could save others. Saving yourself is the prime means of saving and helping others.”
