At first blush this question may sound ridiculous depending on your perspective.  I had been working hard on my spiritual journey when someone said that to me.  I had to think about it awhile.  What this person meant when they said this is that if you use this journey as a time to reflect and grow, heal relationships, reprioritize what is truly important, hit the reset button, and tell your story then you have been given an opportunity that other people don't get to experience. It is a way of saying when you get through this, you get a second chance to live better.  This episode shares my reflections with this in mind.
