Jake shares a lesson in
gratitude. As a tax attorney in corporate America, he felt he
wasn't there for his kids. Jake decided that the quality of his
time with his family was important to him. He took his kids out of
school and his family spent the next year living in 12 countries.
Through this journey, Jake learned that we tend to focus more on
quantity (e.g. we collect a lot of stuff) than on quality. Visiting
a WW2 concentration camp, a trip highlight, was a humbling
experience. Jake shares these powerful nuggets of life
wisdom:
- when life kicks you, keep the
perspective
- take inventory of what you already
have
- be grateful for the blessings and
the opportunities that you have
- be clear on what you
want
- continue persevering through the
challenges
