Carolina Panthers’ Cam Newton gave a powerful message about live and how it is too short to not appreciate it following the NFL QB’s car accident.

The Carolina Panthers received a scare when they learned that Cam Newton had been involved in a fairly serious looking car accident. Newton ended up being just fine, but it was still an eye opening experience for him. He posted a message to his fans on Instagram, and talked about how life is too short not to appreciate it.

It isn’t everyday that a professional athlete goes through a situation like Newton did, and it can really shake a person up. Newton seems to have learned a valuable lesson from the entire situation, however, which is very good and a mature way to look at it.

Here is the message that Newton posted on his Instagram account:

In order to read his message, click on his username and that will take you to his account. Needless to say, this was a very sobering message and it is something that everyone needs to pay attention to and follow the advice that he gave. Life is not guaranteed in any way, shape, or form, and it can be taken away in a moment. Newton is just fine following the accident outside of a couple small fractures in his back, and that is a piece of great news. Hopefully this message will help people realize that Newton’s experience could happen to anyone, and that nothing can ever be taken for granted.
