Hello this is Greg from Greg Cheek Speaks and I'm at the
University of Kansas Cancer Center and
this is what the 5 Second Rule is all about it is
chilly out here and you just make it
happen but going back to jun 2011 my
life changed my life changed right here
it actually changed right inside there I
was going through some follow ups at my
one I was one year cancer-free in June
of 2011 so I was going through
follow-ups continuous stuff you know
watching blood numbers going up and down
to find out now whether or not the
cancer looks like it might be coming
back or something but to be honest with
you my life kind of just hit a rut all
the things that I done in life all the
excitement and motivation everything
I've done in my life from the time I was
18 I talk about in my book all the way
through the military living my life
until BAM I get hit with cancer and
everything stopped but what cancer
allowed me the opportunity to do and
gave me more opportunity to come up with
excuses so when I got to the one year
mark I got thinking to myself is this
really what is left of me for life I'm
just fine I'm just okay everything is
alright and i thought no no no it
doesn't have to be that way so one day I
am I luck here I was surfing on my
computer wasn't this computer in 2011
but I was surfing on my computer waiting
for an appointment here and lo and
behold it was June fifteenth a Wednesday
to 13 and I know exactly what it was and
along comes this video from TEDx San
Francisco with Mel Robbins and Mel
