Notas del episodio
Hi everyone, this is my 10th episode and I wanted to share why I started this podcast.
Sometimes something happens that shakes your life up; and creates a new canvas on which the rest of your life is written. For me, it was a cancer diagnosis.
I sought to control most things in my life until I realised that we really don't control much. Change, especially abrupt change, shatters that illusion. Seeking meaning, I read Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" after my diagnosis, and within that book, I found the most empowering concept I've ever come across:
What we can control is our response to whatever life throws at us, and in that response is our growth and our freedom.
Understanding that the only thing we can control is the decisions we make in each moment, I wanted to create a space to share the stories of people I know who live their lives with purpose, making courageous choices--big or small--whatever their circumstances.
Sharing their stories, I hope that you, the listeners, are able to find ideas or feelings that resonate and inspire you to seize the power of your choices to make an impact in the world.
