About

A Near-Death Experience: A Journey That Changed My Life

It was during a grueling 20-mile hike in Iceland that I faced a near-death experience, reshaping my life’s perspective. The journey was fraught with obstacles: gale-force winds that battered my body, zero visibility, and an encroaching sense of hypothermia. Our guide, more lost than a tourist in Times Square, only added to the uncertainty. I thought about quitting approximately 852 times—a conservative estimate. Each step felt heavier than the last, and my spirit wavered under the relentless pressure of the elements.

Despite these challenges, something within me stirred with stubborn persistence. The thought of giving up crossed my mind repeatedly, but with each daunting gust of wind, my resolve hardened. Just when I thought I couldn’t go any further, the storm abruptly cleared. Before me lay a verdant valley, so surreal it seemed lifted from the pages of Tolkien. Countless waterfalls cascaded around me, and double rainbows arched across the sky, painting a breathtaking scene. The sudden shift from peril to paradise was disorienting yet exhilarating.

In that valley, surrounded by beauty that defied imagination, I found a profound connection to life’s struggles. It mirrored life itself—unpredictable, often harsh, but interspersed with moments of unimaginable beauty. This realization dawned on me as I stood there: the importance of perseverance, regardless of the uncontrollable elements around us.

The impact of this journey has instilled a deep-seated belief in my own resilience. Now, facing challenges in life and business, I approach them with the same determination I found on that Icelandic trail. While I may not face literal mountains in Manhattan, I carry the readiness to move them if necessary. 

This brush with death has left an indelible mark on me. The lessons learned—persistence, courage, and resilience—are now woven into the very fabric of my being, echoing in every step I take toward new challenges.
