Not Today

Mike Avila was at the top of his sport. A legend in water ski racing. Then a horrific water ski accident left him with a broken neck and paralysis. Part-memoir, part-blueprint for overcoming adversity, Not Today tells the story of Mike’s incredible journey—and the mindset that kept him moving forward, one day at a time. It’s about how two powerful words can give you the strength to never give up, to triumph over adversity, and to create the life of your dreams. Moving, unvarnished, and inspiring, Not Today is for anyone who feels lost or beaten down by life. It’s for anyone struggling with their relationships, work, physical and mental health, or any other obstacles in life. It’s also for anyone who loves the life they have but has bigger dreams for the future. Wherever you are right now, the Not Today mindset can help you get where you want to be. One day at a time. With relentless commitment. Duration - 5h 6m. Author - Mike Avila. Narrator - MRC Built. Published Date - Sunday, 25 January 2026. Copyright - © 2026 Mike Avila ©.
