Today's guest is author, speaker, and positive entrepreneur Jesse Brisendine. Early last week I noticed that Jesse was going through a life altering situation with his partner Amanda. I asked him to come on the show to share his story with The Next Room audience.
Amanda recently started to have some headaches. They would come and go and they didn't seem like anything, major. As they persisted they attributed it to stress. Eventually Amanda went to the urgent care, and they said that they too thought it might be stress related and prescribed her some meds. She then started to lose almost like her spatial relationship. As she was trying to write on a whiteboard, she described it as the the pen kind of went all the way away from the whiteboard. She thought it was strange but because it went away quickly she dismissed it. On May 19th Amanda had just finished a hike and afterward as she was standing in line with groceries it felt as through her right leg was giving out. Once she made it back home, the same thing happened again with her whiteboard and pen. After discussing with close family members they knew Amanda needed to get to the E.R. Once at the hospital the doctor put Amanda through a series of tests. He ordered an MRI and a CT Scan. When the doctor came in to speak with them he explained that this was the worst part of his job. He told them that Amanda had a brain tumor. When they asked what that meant for her. The doctor said that it was the start of a very long journey and that her life would never be the same.
Jesse and Amanda's journey will inspire you and challenge you to think differently about being in the moment. Jesse's final observation today is powerful... He said; "Time is not infinite, it is finite, but what I'm really realizing is that when we embrace the finiteness of of time, we create a space for the infinite. And that's really, I think, the magic of life. So, what do you want to do with the time you have left?"
