No matter how severe the adversity you’re dealt with, how you view it makes all the difference. Be inspired and hear how Dr Terry and his family turned tragedy into growth & enlightenment and you can too! Dr. Terry A. Gordon completed his medical school training at what is now known as the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, a rotating internship at Doctors Hospital, Internal Medicine training at Akron General Medical Center, he then completed his Invasive Cardiology Fellowship at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. As a physician who on a daily basis has dealt with life and death, Terry understands that life is precious & can change in an instant. He & his family experienced first-hand such a dramatic shift when his son Tyler was in an automobile accident, sustaining a severe spinal cord injury that has left him paralyzed. Leading his family through the experience, Terry’s journey has resulted in a spiritual awakening to a clearer understanding of life and the truths it has to offer. He’s learned that when adversity comes our way, how we respond to that difficulty that determines who we become. Rather than lamenting so-called adversities, we can choose to be grateful for them, embrace them & accept them as gifts from the Divine. www.drterrygordon.com
