    That breathing exercise gave me anxiety. I can’t even imagine what people with CF must go through. God bless them!

    I’m sitting here sobbing because this helped me tremendously, I have so much anxiety about dying one day that I forget how important it is to live fearlessly! I will always remember this video and will watch it again and again to remind myself how fortunate I am to be alive TODAY! Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times. This is so important. ❤️

    What an incredible man, the perspective he has to say "cystic fibrosis was the best thing that ever happened to me" is so powerful. We live life and are so involved in it to the point where we think we will wake up tomorrow. It's crazy because if you were to ask me "do you think you will wake up tomorrow?", even after watching this, the truthful response will be "yes" whilst realizing I'm not guaranteed it. It's difficult to live as if this day is your last because of the entitled thought that it won't be. Amazing talk Jeremie Saunders, you have helped me focus my perspective on life, like the word behind you says "Legacy", that is the currency of my life that I'm trading on, and you have certainly earned yours...much respect!

    When confronting patients with adiagnosis of a terminal disease, doctors should never say: you have x years to live. They should be honest and say: there is no way of telling. The statistic number of life expectancy only applies to the anonymous group of all people with the disease as a whole. It does not say a thing about any individual patient. This applies especially to people with Cystic Fibrosis, because this disease is very different for every single patient. The term Life Expectancy should never point to a number in years. It should only ever point to the questions: What do I expect of life and What can life expect of me.

    I've Heard something that makes the vid complete that we all think in the future and the past but people with deadly disease live here they don't have a choice they don't know how much time they have left nor do we but we have an illusion of the future. They don't. We don't know our future and we can die tomorrow but the illusion we have lets us live like if that illusion is reality. But it's not, so start to live fully. You may not know your expiry date.
