The loss of my dad made me appreciate that everyone has challenges, and there's no better or worse challenge. This is an experience that i hope no one else has to go through. But it did create credible perspective that i believe will serve me well for the rest of my life. To perspective allows you to see opportunity where others see obstacles. And so i want to share one recent example of this. I recently read the book when breath becomes air. The book is about paul calonithy, who was a chief neuro surgery resident. And he passed away after his battle with stage for metastatic lung cancer. While i would never wish my pain or suffering or loss upon others,
Let this classic episode serve as a reminder to us all to prioritize friends, family and the power of perspective. Without perspective, you can get lost in the day-to-day grind without a reminder of what it is that you’re grinding for. I have found one of the healthiest ways to strive is through experiences that create perspective.
