Episode 17: Terry Gordon on choosing whatever life gives you
Cardiologist Terry Gordon got the call every parent dreads. His son, Tyler, 20 was in a near fatal car accident in Colorado and might be paralyzed for life. Terry hopped the earliest flight out west and on the plane had his first conversation with God. What he heard changed his life forever.
Terry, who had seen thousands of people die, no longer believes in death. “We come here with a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled, we move on to the next purpose,” he believes.
He has retired from cardiology but now heals hearts in a new way.
My takeaways:
Every fall has the power to propel us forward.
No matter what happens, look for the gift in it. It’s there.
Let go of the attachment to what you think is supposed to happen and embrace what is, just as it is.
Through the eyes of gratitude, everything is a gift and a blessing.
