Olympic Gymnast Shannon Miller Discusses Fighting for Her Life

According to Miller, applying lessons - such as goal-setting, perseverance, teamwork, and a positive attitude - helped her through her own cancer journey. “I knew that it wasn’t about the stumbles as much as about the importance of getting back up” she said. Yet, the biggest lesson that she has learned is to appreciate each and every day. “I used to fly through life. I didn’t take time to savor it. I was always go, go, go. Now I understand the importance of really taking time to appreciate every moment” she said.
