KEY TAKEAWAYS
The past has gone and there is nothing I can do about it, tomorrow may never come so no matter what happens today is the best day ever
In that moment I knew I had two choices either fight for my life or just give up and die
I didn’t want to focus on not dying I wanted to focus on living
I wanted to focus on what I did want not avoidance of what I didn’t want
It was a combination of everything at the same time – modern medicine, prayer, not giving up, a sense of humour, visualisation and family all contributed
It’s not just the visualisation it’s tapping into the emotions ‘how do you feel?’
I wanted to give something back and offer hope to other cancer sufferers and kept searching for higher and higher platforms until it became climbing Everest
I’m more afraid of not living than dying
Many people play it safe but crossing the line of fear is where life begins
I’m afraid of not doing enough, that I won’t ever accomplish enough so when I do something I have to then move on and do something else
From the instant, you are born your brain takes in everything around it
If you are not careful what you consume can program your brain instead of you programming it for yourself
If you understand what your key values are you able to focus on how you spend your time effectively
Being in the world without a sense of purpose is pointless
There are no guarantees today and the now are all you actually have
BEST MOMENTS
‘I want to make the best out of the 24 hours ahead of me each day’
‘I visualised being inside my body and destroying the cancer cells’
‘When I got to the summit I unfurled that flag and wrapped it around the top of the world’
