I recall long ago, a canoe trip that some smart aleck set up, and had us go down this one section of river that, when you went around this big bend, suddenly there was a roaring sound, and you were caught deeply in a swift current, and all the group in different canoes, one by one were sucked into this extremely dangerous rapids, with big boulders, and my canoe like every other, capsized, and I was trying to hold onto it, and my life did flash before me somewhat. The Big Thought that came to me in this moment was, "I better not die now! My mother will be MAD at me!!!"
Another meaningful conversation and with T.K. Coleman no less! I am sooo happy to see T.K. back sharing bonus time with all of us! Appreciate all of you!
The willingness to walk away is a superpower anyone can harness. If you don’t make time for wellness, you’ll be forced to make time for your sickness. Love that! So many gems in this episode!
“WELL ….. it sure is crazy how life can change in the blink of an eye… One minute I was pouting and ranting about not being appreciated, that I’m just a cook, etc etc… angrily taking the garbage out… I was not careful when shoving it down into the bin - having forgotten I had just tossed out a tin can with the lid still attached! The point is, we can be pouty and woe-is-me one moment, and bleeding the next. This really made me think and be grateful for the opportunities I have to serve my family in humble love. To share *LIFE* with them. Life is too precious to grumble through it.” **This is a little something I wrote to a friend when I cut my arm and got taken to the ER, thankfully to leave soon after with the parting gift of a meager 4 stitches.

My daughter is a Recovering Heroin Addict. It's the truth. People break their legs to get opioids. To withdraw from opioids is described as the worst pain. It also causes the brain to go into anxiety mode. Those suffering Addiction are desperate to ease the pain.
@@t.k.coleman5398 thank you! It's the worst thing I've been through, but through her recovery and story we have been able to help so many others; those suffering from addiction and parents!
Hes right when he says, you dont think about the debt, the things you wanted... when i got into my crash i was shocked how this 18 wheeler when it got me caught under the truck and dragged me . All that i "saw" was the person that i loved and all the memories ill never have with them. after it ended, i was in my car and amazed it wasnt worse.
It's a wow episode and a wow essay that you read in the middle. We recently experienced a strong earthquake in Morocco. I was about a 100 miles from the center of the catastrophy, but we felt it so hard that we stood totally shocked around 11pm on Sep. 8th, while the apartment was rocking us as if it were a jelly cake. I felt it would be the end. I realised that I wasn't immune to catastrophies. And my mind just went blank and I was ready for the worst. But then it stopped shaking and nothing bad happened afterward. But I would not say that I have changed since, because I've already been on a satisfying path, with tiny little improvements on the personal, the spiritual and the professional levels. So, I was, and still am, convinced that I should keep going as long as I can. Much love, Soumia
Hey guys I was wondering I know your busy but I am really interested in the book about movement from your podcast and I don’t really have enough money to buy one would you be willing to help me get a copy
18:44 "We hold off living fully and freely because we have all of these things that we're worried about that are part of this STORY THAT WE CALL FUTURE. And, that story is rooted in a presumptuousness of worry. We think we have the luxury of existing tomorrow and the day after and having all of these limitations and constraints imposed on us by a future we haven't arrived at and that we might never arrive at. And, when you're in a moment where you go, 'Man, I could have been dead right there,' you realize just how fragile that little story is. And how silly it is in many ways and you realize, 'Man, there are so many risks I haven't taken, so many things I haven't said, so many things I haven't tried because I'M TRYING TO PROPERLY DISTRIBUTE MY LIFE OVER TIME.' And I'm saying, 'Well I've got time for this and I want to save some things for next week and save some things for a year from now.' And it's like life has a way of saying, 'NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW.' And that forces you to really reevaluate not just why you're living but how you're living, the choices that you make."
Thanks Trio of Minimalism - great discussion! Title for Ryan & Joshua's School Financial Education program: "Near-Debt Experience". (I would really love it if people could learn how to handle their money when paying in the check-out line.)
@@t.k.coleman5398 Hey T.K.! So happy you are well! Many blessings to you! Well, I love your answer to "What You Don't Think About During a Near-Death Experience": "I'm about to be debt-free!"
Thanks guys great podcast you do such important work especially about learning about finance saving people stress and unnecessary debt thus adding great benefits to their lives helping them achieve better relationship and lives. With gratitude. 🌝
Because I hang around with psychic medium types of people, I feel your near death experiences are a bit too this worldly. I think we all feel we are going to live forever because we actually are! Even though the body dies, we are more soul than body. Studying NDE's often have the element of leaving ones physical body, and often people reporting they are never afraid of death again after such stuff.
A Near Death Experience is having an experience out of your body, into another realm, frequently a Heavenly realm or landscape. A Near Death Experience is not just almost dying or could have died, or a moment of crisis. It is interesting to explore what mattered most to you when you were in those situations, but it isn't appropriate to call these Near Death Experiences. You had the Near Death,but not the Experience. Even if you were flat lined, it doesn't mean you had a NDE. Many are clinically dead but never had an experience out of their body. Only 5-10% of the population has had a NDE. Wisdom from NDEs comes from the Heaven or Hell or void or out of body experience, not from being in an accident, having an illness etc alone. My podcast is called NDE TV. I interview NDErs. I have had two NDEs myself.
Philippines 1:21; For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippines 1:23; I am torn between two: I desire to depart to be with Christ, which would be far better,... And it goes on.
I usually love this show, but disappointed that it turned to racism so quickly. This is why the narrative continues. So glad I have a wide range of friends with different back grounds and races and this is not an issue.
@smallhouseinthemeadow For less than 7 seconds, Joshua committed the mortal sin of wondering out loud if race was one of the components that played a role in a problem that he was discussing. No one made any further comments on anything race-related. I definitely agree with those who say we shouldn't make everything about race, but I wasn't aware that it was inappropriate to ever ask questions about race or to treat race like it could *possibly* play a factor in the way *some* human beings act *some* of the time. We're so obsessed with race that some people think you should *always* talk about it and some people think you should *never* even mention the word. There seems to be no more room for a middle ground where we can talk about race without people worrying that the conversation (or question in this case) will support whatever narrative they hate, fear, or disagree with. This is why I actually think it's heatlhy to participate in conversations about race...even though that's not what we talked about on this episode.
Yeah, racism continues to exist because it is acknowledged. Wearing blinders never fixes anything, denying reality doesn't make it go away. And no naming doesn't call.
So happy to see TK on the podcast and that he is okay after the accident😄 He is my favorite guest on the podcast❤
Me too :)

Welcome back T.K.! Love you all.
18:33> Gold!
I only catch an episode of yours here and there but this is definitely the best I’ve heard. TK is a wise man that we can all learn from.

I really enjoyed listening to this. Another insightful podcast!
My son's took that course in highschool and now 21 he has over 40k saved up :-)
Much love to tk and the minimalist love you guys keep it up

" The world's richest dead man is still dead"
I thought I'd be hearing NDE accounts, but none of you guys seem to have been clinically dead, which of course is a good thing.
A Near Death Experience is having an experience out of your body, into another realm, frequently a Heavenly realm or landscape. A Near Death Experience is not just almost dying or could have died, or a moment of crisis.
