Life is filled with encounters that expands our minds and shape us into who we are
Most people don’t realize that each experience adds a new layer of depth and understanding to their life.
Here are four such encounters that can leave a lasting impact and change your outlook on life forever.
Surviving a Life-Threatening Situation
One of the most transformative encounters in life is surviving a life-threatening situation.
In 2012, I had a severe car accident that left me badly injured and near death. I recall lying on the bed, slightly conscious, watching doctors frantically trying to stop the bleeding.
Everyone thought I wouldn’t make it, but I survived miraculously. That brush with death profoundly impacted how I view life.
Surviving such an ordeal shakes you to your core. You become acutely aware of your mortality and how fragile life can be.
People often emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper appreciation for life.
