Lesson 85: Focus on what truly matters

Dear friend,

Imagine you had only a limited amount of time left to live.

Limited as in weeks or even days, not years.

Who do you care for deeply and would want to thank? Who has had a meaningful impact on your life? Who was there for you when you needed help?

What is a place you wish you had the chance to visit? What is a place you'd like to return to because of the fond memories you have from past visits?

What is a book you really enjoyed in the past and would be worth re-reading? What is a book you own and would really like to read, but haven't had the chance to dive into yet?

What is a story you long to share, but have not written down, captured on video, or shared through another form of expression?

Have you discovered the purpose of your life, the reason for which you were created? If not, wouldn't this be a worthy pursuit in the limited time we have here?

Our lives are finite. There is so much we can be grateful for, yet we face countless challenges and distractions that pull us away from focusing on what matters now and for eternity.

Let's focus on what matters.

Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect.

Until next time,
Alex Rășcanu

The Rășcanu Weekly Update Lesson 90: True toughness is how we endure life's heaviest blows Dear friend, Over the past three months since I started training at Sully's Boxing Gym in Toronto's Little Portugal neighbourhood, George Chuvalo's name has come up repeatedly.

Born to Croatian immigrants in Toronto's...

Lesson 89: Focus on that which is true, good, and beautiful

The Rășcanu Weekly Update Lesson 89: Focus on that which is true, good, and beautiful Hi friend, I'm writing to you from Ottawa, where my family and I find ourselves this long weekend before our children's school restarts on Tuesday. The opportunity to travel, observe, and reflect on the past, the present, and the future is a blessing.
