MORE INFORMATION
“Heartache,
pain, suffering and grief come to everyone. Pain is inevitable, but misery is
optional and joy is a choice,” Dan Miller tells his audiences.
He
is a speaker who has shared his inspirational story more than 1500 times
throughout North America. Miller’s unique humorous style gives hope and
encouragement that all of us can beat the negatives of life.
Miller’s
life took a sudden turn when he was still a teenager. He was a star athlete and
recent high school graduate with big dreams to become a physical education
teacher, pilot, guitar player, husband and father. A few weeks later, he was
diagnosed with polio. In one week, he went from a healthy 18 year old athlete to
a helpless 18 year old baby. He lost the use of both legs and both arms.
Eventually, Dan was able to recover use of one arm, and function with an 85%
loss of his leg muscles.
Always
upbeat and positive, Dan explains,” I’m not complaining, just explaining. I
only lost one arm!”
In his keynote presentations, Miller shares about meeting his dreams in life in spite of impossible odds. With humorous stories of learning to fly an airplane, getting a Master’s degree in physical education, shooting a hole in one, and a golf handicap of 13 with one arm, his message to others is that your dreams can come true.
Many other "impossible" dreams have come true for Dan including playing a guitar, and becoming an author. His book, “Living Laughing and Loving Life!” has sold 71,000+ copies.
