Sean shares how surviving cancer reshaped his perspective on life, time, and purpose—and why he chose to focus on living instead of merely surviving. He dives into the power of gratitude, visualization, and mental resilience, reminding listeners that the mind often gives up before the body does.

Through personal stories and insights from his True Summit Method, Sean encourages listeners to align their goals with their core values, embrace discomfort, and reframe failure as growth. This episode is a powerful reminder that happiness is a choice, life is happening right now, and the journey is where the joy is found.

Key Takeaways:

• “I wanted to focus on living, not on dying.”

• “Don’t allow someone else’s limitations to become your reality.”

• “The mind breaks before the body does.”

• “Failure is just data and information—not an identity.”

• “You have to reframe ‘no’ into ‘what’s best for me.’”

• “Life is happening in this very moment right now.”

• “Happiness is a choice—why not choose it now?”

• “You can shift your goals, but always stay true to your personal core values.”

• “The journey is where the joy is found, not just the destination.”
