2. Episode # 444 – Mike Van Cleave- A conversation about cancer & learning how to discard the meaningless.

“One of my closest friends passed away this week. When I found out he had terminal cancer, I called him. He had such a positive perspective. I couldn’t believe it.”

Then he told me, “All of a sudden there was meaning… The desire to connect with meaning overwhelmed the time I had for the meaningless. In some ways, you can’t understand it. And the one thing I’ve come to understand completely is there’s only one thing in your life that matters and that’s the quality of your relationships. It’s such a cliche. You can look back at thousands of quotes from people who are old and dying and they always talk about the people in their lives. Nobody cares how much money you have when you die.”

I stayed silent. I wanted to catch all his words. And learn from them.
