Finding the Silver Lining Within Our Hardships and Embodying Gratitude with Lina Bettayeb


Listen Later

In Episode 39, Lina Bettayeb joins us as she dives into the family trip that had completely changed her life. 

At the age of 16, Lina and her family embark on a journey to Umrah. Her memory jumps from a joyous van full of her loved ones on their way to complete their pilgrimage to waking up in the hospital connected to several life-saving machines. 

Although, she still can't piece together the memories of what happened that day, Lina tells us that her dad was the one to fill her in: A reckless driver crashed into their vehicle leaving Lina and her mother both paralyzed. 

Lina spent one year in the hospital and was told by multiple health professionals that she would never be able to walk again. 

But she didn't let that stop her from trying. She spent her time in the hospital with her nose nuzzled in books, conducting her own research and working on a rehabilitation plan that was best suited for her. 

Through this experience that had shook the core of her livelihood, Lina explains how she trained her brain to see the silver lining within this hardship and how she truly connected to her faith for the first time and strengthened her relationship with God. 

Lina's message to the world is to truly believe in the power of our mind. She explains to us how our positive thinking and overall attitude towards life's situations has a real impact on the way our body heals. 

As you listen to Lina share her story and her message, we hope that you can take away a new definition of gratitude.
