Not long ago, I met with a group of people when someone revealed to us…
“I was just diagnosed with stage four cancer.”
The air in the room immediately deflated. While I do not know this person very well, I still sat there in shock-as did other people in the group. I couldn’t believe it. While I am not a medical expert, I do know enough about cancer to know that a stage four cancer diagnosis is not good.
What struck me the most about what he shared with us though wasn’t necessarily the news itself-which obviously was jarring and sobering, it was the message behind it.

As he talked he displayed a courage and strength that moved me and inspired me.
