In this episode, Terry shares his remarkable journey of resilience and unwavering determination in the face of pain and adversity. He lives in Denver, Colorado, USA. Terry's story would inspire you to keep you going on no matter the obstacles and challenges. Terry was diagnosed with Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), 11 years ago. It's a rare type of Cancer. During the Covid 19 pandemic, he got his leg amputated from 6 inches above his knee. He has been diagnosed with two different tumours in his lungs. Yet, he says, "One thing I learned during all my pain and suffering is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being. I chose the latter. There were times I felt so poorly and was in so much agony that I prayed to die. Each day was a struggle to use my mind to override my body's apathy and distress. I realize pain and discomfort can beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But I also came to appreciate that I could use my hurting and anguish to make me stronger and more resolute". Terry's recently published book, "Sustainable Excellence: Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life," serves as a guiding light for those seeking to overcome life's obstacles and lead a life of significance and success. Through his own experiences, Terry imparts invaluable wisdom on how to build unshakable beliefs and dedicated behaviours, ensuring you can withstand any hardship.
