Chasing Thoughts | S02 E15 Terry Tucker—Strengthening our Resolve

Description

In this episode of the Chasing Thoughts podcast Mindy and Keith talk with Terry Tucker who is an author and a speaker. Terry talked about his life and going from a college basketball player into business world and then his career as a police officer. But today, Terry is living his best life after being diagnosed with a rare form of melanoma and given 2 years to live, which, incidentally, was 12 years ago.

This conversation is an inspiring look at a man who decided that cancer may take his life, but it won’t touch his mind, heart, or soul. Terry shares his secrets for strengthening our character when that character is challenged by the circumstances we can find ourselves in throughout life. We always have a choice, Terry reminds us, even when life brings something our way that would not be our choice, we can choose how we will respond to that situation. Terry has found his purpose in living his life outwardly, giving of himself to others, and he explains how that is returned to him in the energy he receives from living his purpose. We hope you enjoy.
