Life is a Gift

I highly recommend this book, "Dying to Be Me" by Anita Moojani, I decided to buy this book after reading an article written by actress Brigitte Lim in the Chinese newspapers, Lianhe Zaobao in 2017. Brigitte Lim shared an inspiring story written by Anita Moorjani who survived cancer. The book, Dying to be Me by Anita shared how she miraculously survived from cancer after near death experience. Doctor had told her family to prepare for her funeral as her organs were shutting down and she was in end-stage lymphoma. However, after experiencing near-death experience and seeing her deceased father and friend, her cancer miraculously disappeared 5 weeks after she woke up from coma. She learned that she has to live her life fearlessly as long as we don't hurt anyone. Life is a gift meant to be enjoyed. We are all just visitors to this planet. Just enjoy this journey. 

Her description of near death experience is similar to Dr Jill Taylor, a Harvard trained brain scientist who survived stroke after experiencing near death experience. She wrote, "My Stroke of Insight" that described her stroke experience and her road to recovery. 

Life is a gift and we should find what we have instead of what is lacking. Please value your life. 

I would like to share the following inspiring quotes by Anita Moorjani. 

"Change your awareness." 

“The way to find your happiness joy is to make a list of all the things that are fun for YOU to do. Then do some of those things everyday.”

“What I really learned was that life is a gift and our only purpose is to be who we are. We all make it so complicated, and try to find our purpose, I learned that all I have to do is be as me as I can be.”

"Our life is our prayer. It is our gift to the universe, and the memories we leave behind when we someday exit this world will be our legacy to our loved ones. The best thing we can do for ourselves and everyone around us is to find our joy and share it!"
