Your challenges are a gift, and that is the quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host Sean Crox and a Sean Crox and

calm. It is thoughtful Thursday with Anita Morjani. She is the author of Dine to be me.

My journey from cancer to near death to true healing. I heard about her story from Dr. Wayne

dire who's on the show tomorrow. And Anita had cancer. She was battling cancer for four years.

Had a near death experience. She's going to share the five things that she learned from that

near death experience in just a minute. And she learned these things during her experience.

And she recovered from cancer. She went from like terminal cancer to now speaking on stages and

writing books. I find it such a fascinating and remarkable story. And I just want more people

to learn more about it. So I highly recommend you pick up her book, which I just picked up the other

day at the use bookstore. Again, it's called Dine to be me. Here's Anita. We would have a very

different world if we changed our awareness. To bring it down onto a more personal level,

I want to share with you the five biggest lessons I learned from this experience.

Number one, the most important thing that I learned, the most important thing we have here

to focus our awareness on is love. That is number one. And when I say love, it's very easy to say

or for us to say we need to love other people. But one of the things I learned is that one of the

reasons I got cancer is because I didn't love myself. That's hugely important. When we love

ourselves, we value ourselves. When we value ourselves, we teach people how to treat us.

When you love yourself, you find no need to control or bully other people, nor do you allow

other people to control or bully you. So loving yourself is as important as loving everybody else.

And the more you love yourself, the more love you have to give other people.

Number two, the next biggest lesson I learned was to live life fearlessly.
