EP40: How Losing a Loved One Shifted My Perspective on Life
About this episode
Christina shares how dealing with the loss of a loved one shifted her perspective of life and opened her eyes to the hidden blessings that come from the worst things in life. She tells what it means to live your best life, why it is important to live in the moment, and how we can learn from our memories of the past.
In this episode, Christina talks about:
- How losing a loved one changed Christina's perspective on life:
- Understanding how fragile and unreliable every day of your life is
- Not taking your loved ones for granted — letting them know how grateful you are for them.
- Knowing that tomorrow is not guaranteed for you or anyone around you
- Living selfishly — doing what you want, feeling what you want, being surrounded by people you want, and not being sad over things that don't matter
Memorable Quotes:
"The first thing that shifted inside of me… was the very concept of just how fragile and not guaranteed every single day of your life is."
"Everyone who is important to me knows that they are important to me because I do not want another person to ever leave this earth, not fully knowing how much I truly am grateful and appreciate their entire being."
"You don't know what tomorrow holds; that's why practicing gratitude is so important. That's why taking action on your goals is so important. Today is the only day that is real. The future is an imagined present, and the past is just memories of the present. So live your life to the fullest because tomorrow is not guaranteed."
