Stillness in the Storms

3 Life Lessons (From hospital bed not edited)


Listen Later

Today, I’m sharing some real talk about resilience from my hospital bed. I just went through a tough time, losing a pint and a half of blood, but I’m here to tell you about the lessons I’ve learned as a quadriplegic. I’ve got three key insights that I think are super important: embrace the present, appreciate your body, and accept things as they are. Life can throw us curveballs, but fighting against reality just makes things harder. Instead, we can find strength and peace in our current situations, and that’s what I’m all about in this episode. Let’s dive into this journey together!

Podcast is a little different, I was rushed in the hospital a few days ago and had major surgery but all good. And I share the three things I wrote out last night that I think my main lessons in finding in a piece and building resilience.

Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and in this episode, I share a personal account from my recent hospital stay. After losing a significant amount of blood and undergoing emergency surgery, I found myself reflecting on my life as a quadriplegic and the lessons I've learned. I dive deep into three essential insights that have shaped my understanding of resilience: the illusion of alternatives, the silent oath of our bodies, and the futility of resisting the now. Each point is grounded in my own experiences, highlighting the importance of embracing the present moment, honoring our bodies, and accepting our realities. The essence of my journey is about thriving despite struggles, and I invite listeners to find strength in vulnerability and peace in acceptance. As I navigate these challenges, I hope to inspire others to embrace their own journeys with courage and focus on the here and now.

Takeaways:

  • Embracing the present is crucial; it's the only reality we truly own and control.
  • Our bodies, despite their limitations, work tirelessly for us, deserving our utmost gratitude.
  • Acceptance of the present is not a defeat; it's a pathway to inner peace and wisdom.
  • Fighting against the unchangeable is futile; embracing it leads to tranquility and growth.
  • Life's struggles can be transformed into strength when viewed through a lens of gratitude.
  • Resilience stems from our ability to embrace vulnerability and focus on the now.
