Description
Which of life’s circumstances do you feel a victim to?
There was a time in my guest's life when his answer to this question might have been very lengthy.
In today’s episode I’m bringing you a conversation I had with my friend, Brian Thomas. Brian is an author, husband, father, and a man who is boldly choosing to have it all in his life.
When Brian was 13 he underwent the first of several kidney transplant operations. The experiences leading up to and after the surgery played a significant role in shaping how Brian viewed himself, his capabilities and his future.
Brian’s story reminds me that it truly is not our circumstances that define us, but how we choose to respond to those circumstances.
Things Brian talks about in this episode:
Living a cautious life vs living a courageous life
Being stuck in a rut and questioning how he was living his life
Working so hard that he was giving himself health problems
Being biracial and the feeling of never fitting in
Learning what it means to live authentically (and having the courage to do so)
