What’s Steve Gleason saying?

I feel purposeful and fulfilled with where I am. I’m excited about what is ahead. There were days in the past when I was so frustrated and hopeless. I felt death might be a welcome alternative to this life. Those hopeless days are behind me. I love my life. -SG

What’s Steve Gleason saying?

I almost break Everyday. Sometimes every hour. Every moment. Almost... My Soul, Your Soul, Our Soul – Is Invincible.... -SG

What’s Steve Gleason saying?

Life IS fair. It's impartial to me, and everyone. If I can become an expert on the "rules" of life, and the skills to navigate life, anything is possible. Each moment spent dwelling on the "unfairness" is a moment lost. -SG

What’s Steve Gleason saying?

Gratitude is sacred. In the midst of immense suffering, I started a daily gratitude journal. Gratitude has been a path to resilience, strength, and joy.  -SG

What’s Steve Gleason saying?

Here's an exercise I think more parents should practice... "If I die in the next day or the next year, have I done everything I can to ensure that my kids have, or will have, the tools to rebound and live a more positive, meaningful, triumphant life." -SG

What’s Steve Gleason saying?

Life is difficult. Not just for me or other ALS patients. Life is difficult for everyone. Finding ways to make life meaningful and purposeful and rewarding, doing the activities that you love and spending time with the people that you love - I think that's the meaning of this human experience. -SG

What’s Steve Gleason saying?

If we have a purpose in life beyond being a cog in the human machine, mine is to help inspire people and that's pretty cool. I would like to motivate the world. -SG

What’s Steve Gleason saying?

I look at the human life like an experiment. Every new moment, every new experience, tragic or otherwise, is an opportunity to gain a more accurate perspective and helps lead me to clarity. -SG
