Episode Description:
In this heartfelt special episode, Steven Webb shares his deep reflections from the road as he reaches the halfway mark of his incredible 500-mile journey around Cornwall in his electric wheelchair. Undertaken to raise funds for the Cornwall Air Ambulance—the very service that saved his life 33 years ago—this journey is more than a physical challenge; it's a meditation on life, purpose, and the bonds we share.
Amidst the physical exhaustion and the focus required to navigate roads not designed for wheelchairs, Steven receives news of a dear friend's passing. This friend, who shared a similar life journey, prompts Steven to contemplate mortality, the value of seizing the day, and the importance of helping others. He delves into the inner dialogues we all experience—the committee of voices that either propel us forward or hold us back—and emphasizes the choice we have in which voices we listen to.
This episode is a raw and honest exploration of finding meaning in the moment, the nourishment that comes from helping others, and the simple yet profound purposes that guide us daily.
Quotes from the Episode:
- "It's a celebration that we're still here. If you're listening to this, you're alive."
- "Try to find something in life you love. And just do that. And I don't mean in a 'find your purpose' because I think finding your one life purpose, I think that's bollocks. I think your purpose right now is if you're cold, put on a jumper."
Thank you for joining Steven on this journey. Your support and understanding mean the world to him. Regular episodes and new meditations will resume soon. Until then, embrace the present, listen to the encouraging voices within, and consider how you might help someone else today.
