SIGNIFICANCE
Significance is a measure of your worth to others.
For over four decades, Michael Bowen has proven which one actually lasts, built on one unshakable belief: your circumstances don't determine your future, the way you choose to respond determines your impact.
A catastrophic injury at twenty-three. A recovery most people don't come back from. Then four decades spent turning that recovery outward through Service, Hope, and Resilience. Founding Ride to Recovery, teaching, coaching, writing, speaking. Every one of it pointed toward someone else, in pursuit of one word: Purpose.
That's Purpose-Driven Resilience.
Not how do I survive adversity, but how do I use adversity to serve others and create meaning?
Michael believes that our greatest challenges often reveal our greatest purpose.

“Michael's talk made me realize and consider how important each day is. That what you do is not just a job, it is making an impact on others...Significance over success!”
Your impact on others is far more important than being successful in your own eyes. His talk has inspired me to want to be that difference for others.
