We all experience those moments that cast us into the unknown after a life-altering event. Yet, we often lack the ability to comprehend what happened, how to face it, and how to move forward. Travis Mills, a former soldier who lost all four limbs, faced this challenge after an incident that forever changed his life. In this book, Travis reveals the path he took through the storms, and how he managed to overcome the ordeal and continue his life as a devoted family man, a husband, and a father to two wonderful children. On his journey of physical and psychological recovery, Travis developed a set of tools for continued progress, compiling them into twelve rules. Among the most prominent are: Don't torment yourself or ask "why" too much; move your fingers and prepare to rise; set small, achievable goals that help you move forward; stay within safe limits and control your emotions and behavior; find a battle buddy, and don't underestimate the power of support; serve others, find your voice, build on your strengths, and give your life meaning. Travis's message revolves around a simple yet profound idea: we cannot control what happens to us, but we can always choose how we face it and how we continue to move forward. This book is an inspiring message for anyone seeking to rise from life's trials, no matter how varied they may be.
