How amazing is it when we experience paradigm shifts?

On the face of it, you may think that what happened to Kevin Pearce is just horrific and sad, but when you listen to him and watch all the way to the end, you realize that having your world shift from gold medal aspirations to just being grateful you're alive and with family, that's a momentous shift.

When asked whether horrified parents would want to shelter their kids from the sport after hearing about the accident, Kevin said: "I would feel bad for those kids, just because snowboarding is such a great sport, it's so much fun and has brought me so much joy. I wouldn't change it for anything. Even after having had this accident, I still love it so much." Not even his near death snowboard accident can keep him from doing what makes him most joyful in life.

Powerful stuff.
