Episode #4. Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% on how we chose to respond. Ashley Abolafia talks about her response to some news she recently received.
In this episode Michael talks to Ashley Abolafia about how early in her career mindset allowed her to achieve her goals and do amazing things. Now fast forward to her current world where she was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Mindset is the key. She is going to be present for her Husband Jack and her two daughters and make every moment count.
Mindset—you can get through anything with an abundant mindset—even the WORST news. Ex—I view my life now as an opportunity to be the most open I have ever been, best wife, mother, friend, agent…to give of myself and make these precious moments COUNT. This is a gift. And I am going to soak it in and am so thankful. My mindset of abundance WILL give me more strength for my fight. It already is.
Balance
FIND IT! I worked too much building for a life I will now never live. I don’t regret my decisions, as my family will benefit and be okay as a result, but I wish I’d done a better job with balance. My kids are SO much happier now, because I am so present for EVERYTHING (and so am I; I just did not have that option before I felt). I have the chance to have the best year/s ahead and that is a gift, but the lesson is, don’t assume there will be a tomorrow—find the balance, live your dreams, love your family, and do the things NOW, while you can. Do not let work be your whole life.
We all have a THING!
Do not avoid the “thing” you have been putting off. Life is short. Let things go, make amends, go to the DOCTOR. for the thing you have been avoiding (it could save your life), so the thing you personally have in the back of your mind nagging at you—we all have something. It could be a relationship, a tangible thing, or a physical thing—if I can impress anything or make a difference in even just one person’s life, to take action today, that’s worth it to me. Pay it forward.
