Chris Cochran

Well, I learned mostly that it's about giving all of yourself to others, right? I always say there's kind of this pre-cancer Chris and there's kind of after cancer Chris. I don't even identify with the guy pre-cancer. My mind was in a different mindset. It was all goal related to achieve, keep up with the Joneses, all those crazy, wacky things in this world we have to deal with.

But I think what it taught me is to reflect. It taught me, Christian taught me how to pause. Pausing is so important. The stillness of life can really help you refocus your energy, help you refocus how you approach everyone, can help you how you react to someone. It's truly remarkable. And that's how Christian lived it. Christian never stopped living. Nothing stopped. He got a full-time job.

We knew what we were up against, but Christian wanted to serve an example to everyone. Now, he did it for, I think, four months before his body started to take a toll on him. He loved the idea that we could venture into areas to try to solve this problem for others. It was part of his journey. We always say, make someone laugh, someone happy, make someone smile.

Christian was always about those three things.

I think it's a moving target. So we don't focus on any one specific thing. Sometimes it just comes to us. A lot of the things that we do come to us because they hear the story of Christian. So it happens if I do podcast or writing the book. Our mission is truly about getting that language out. What's good about today?

I believe that if every person could simply wake up in the day, the end of the day, and say, what's good about today? And really take the time for yourself and think that out and realize that the sun's on my face. I'm able to take a long walk. If I can't take a long walk, I interact with my son, my daughter, my wife, or a friend. There are so many things on our day that are good.

They far outweigh the bad. And so I think that's just a mind shift. You know, the interesting thing is Christian, he didn't have to-do list. He had to-love list. And he kept those. That's how he managed his life and who you love. I think that's all the way of the foundation is set up too is they're not so much to do's. They're all about to loves.

And how do we put more love out there to places and help?

And how do we put more love out there to places and help?

There's no simple answer to that one. Life is difficult. It's hard. I do a couple things. Here's where I found a useful tool for me. When I was going through those difficult times, there's a couple things I came to accept. One is I can't control my circumstances in life, right? I'm not in control of that. People think they're in control. They're really not that in control. Right.

So Christian's passing and what he had to go through and what we learned. And for me, what I learned is I can't control that. But I think practically, yes, gratitude is great. How do we put that in practice? And so that's why, you know, the book is, of course, what's good about today, a purpose driven life. The book, in many ways, is a roadmap to how to lead a purposely driven life.
