In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I discuss how to manage loss and celebrate life while living with urgency to help others. I share the story of our beloved Jazz and how he recently contracted what the vet believed to be West Nile Virus and how we fought to save him. Ultimately it is a heavy episode that doesn't necessarily have the happiest of endings but it does bring about some very important life lessons.

Quote of the episode: "Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it." HARUKI MURAKAMI

We discuss: -How true character gets tested in tough situations -How we are connected with all living things -Giving all of your self to help others -Words can’t really describe the pain of losing someone or something you love -The need to cherish life -Celebrate life and their spirit -and much more

We all can have compassion for others and animals.

We can communicate compassion through emotions.

Ultimately we all have our time to go and move on from this experience.

Therefore it is essentatial to value each moment and live life fully.

Be strong in the face of hardship and embody the peaceful warrior mindset

And when it is time, "strike swiftly to cut the head off the snake" like my master Chen said.

I think you will get a ton of value from this heart-warming episode. I really get vulnerable and don't hold back.
