They Said, “You’re Going To Die”

“You’re going to die” were the words I heard when I was 21, living my childhood dream and sitting alone in the doctors office as my world abruptly started to cave in on myself.

See, perspective is everything in these circumstances because when we are dealt such a shit hand in life as a brain tumor diagnosis, or 2 more, we still have a choice in how we move forward in life.

Move forward with gratitude or fear.

Had I not chosen to shift my perspective from fear to gratitude for being alive and finding the tumor, and staying true to my inner truth and desires, I wouldn’t be here today sharing with all of you.

I also wouldn’t have won contests, been featured in major media publications sharing my story, gone to Iraq to perform for the troops, met my beautiful girlfriend, or helped inspired change in others by choosing to live my life in the perspective of love and gratitude rather than fear.

Perspective & Gratitude are key for obtaining the reality we desire 💚✌️
