Scars Which Run Deep and Tell a Story
Matt Manzari came close to losing his life – twice. The first time was at the annual Byerly Toe Jam where he suffered a horrific crash during the boat portion of the contest.
The incident brought him on the brink of death, but he managed to come out of it alive.
Still, life was not done challenging him. Matt survived an electrocution from over 14,000 volts which caused 4th and 5th-degree burns.
Once again, he defied the odds in ways nobody had ever seen before and recovered.
These near-death experiences left him with extensive scars on his body everyone can see. The scars are reminders of all the times he rose above life’s tragic events.
However, as he often says, some of the deepest scars are the ones which are unseen.
Everybody will experience pain and loss sooner or later in life. We will all get scars, whether they are visible or not. It is not something we can always control.
However, through the power of words and his own experience, Matt shows his audiences anyone can surpass life’s hurdles and learn to live with their scars.
A Triumph of Faith over Tragedy
When tragedy struck, Matt Manzari could have just given up, and nobody would have blamed it for it.
However, he persevered and, through faith and affirmative willingness, he managed to make a miraculous recovery.
After many surgeries and reconstructed body parts, Matt was a new person and had to get to know himself all over again.
His story is a story of redemption and overcoming huge trials.
It is proof that in the midst of chaos, you can learn to see deeper than your own identity and understanding this world is so much more than yourself.
