Ep21: Purpose - Do we really need a big, shiny goal in life?

Something good comes out of cancer? It certainly can if we see it that way.

Cancer can be a sharpening stone for life’s purpose. It can show us what matters to us and what really doesn’t. And…what matters does not have to be the big achievements or the flashy glory soaked goals. For so many, life is clarified to show us the absolute beauty in the ‘smaller’ things.

Glynn shares with us a little about how cancer sharpened his purpose mid-treatment, and how it’s all sitting now that he’s no longer in chemo chair.

We also get a good update on how remission feels. Does it feel normal? Like nothing happened?
