>>> LOSING HER JOB, GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, BATTLING A
SERIOUS ILLNESS, LIFE CAN THROW
US SOME CURVEBALLS.
>> BUT THE NEXT GUESTS SAY WHEN YOU FEEL THE GUESTS ARE STACKED
AGAINST YOU, YOU NEED TO
PERSEVERE.
PERSEVERE.
THEYVE WRITTEN IT ABOUT IT IN
THEIR NEW BOOK, "THE STUFF."
WELL TALK TO SHARLEE JETER AND
DR. SAMPSON DAVIS IN A MOMENT.
BUT FIRST, HERES SHARLEES STORY.RST, HERES SHARLEES
STORY.
>> MY NAME IS SHARLEE JETER.
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HODGKINS LYMPHOMA WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS I
WOULD.
WOULD.
I WAS A SENIOR IN COLLEGE IN
ATLANTA, AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT I HAD CANCER.JUST FOUND OUT THAT
I HAD CANCER. IT WAS VERY TOUGH FOR ME TO
GRASP AT THAT TIME.
BUT I THINK THAT WHAT I DID WAS
FOCUSED ON WANTING TO BE AT
SCHOOL.
SCHOOL.
I DIDNT WANT TO BE DELAYED FROM GRADUATING WITH MY FRIENDS, SO I
WORKED REALLY HARD TO CONVINCE
MY PARENTS TO ALLOW ME TO DO
TREATMENTS IN NEW YORK AND FLY
BACK AND FORTH. ITS THE TREATMENT ITSELF THAT
MAKES YOU SICK.
YOU DONT FEEL THE CANCER.
YOU FEEL THE MEDICINE. MY BROTHERS REACTION WAS LIKE
ANY BIG BROTHER WOULD REACT TO
ME.
ME.
HE WAS VERY CALM, SUPPORTIVE.
BUT HIS REACTION BEHIND THE
SCENES, HE CALLED MY PARENTS AND IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT TONE AND
WHATS GOING ON, WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE DOCTOR.
HE WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE SHAKEN UP THAN WHAT HE SHOWED TO ME.EN
UP THAN WHAT HE SHOWED TO ME. I WAS WORKING WITH A REALLY GOOD
FRIEND OF MINE, DR. DAVIS.
HE WAS EXPLAINING TO ME HOW I
HAD THE STUFF, THIS RESILIENCE.
AND I WAS ABLE TO OVERCOME
SOMETHING IN A WAY MOST PEOPLE
WOULD SAY IS NUTS.
"THE STUFF" IS SOMETHING
EVERYONE HAS, YOU WERE BORN WITH
IT, YOU DEVELOP IT OVER TIME.
I THINK THE SOONER WE TEACH
YOUNG TEAM THAT THEY HAVE THESE
ELEMENTS WITHIN THEM, THE
QUICKER THEYRE ABLE TO START
WORKING TOWARDS THEIR GOALS AND
DREAMS.
DREAMS. >> SWEET.
>> SWEET. >> YOU BOTH GOT THE STUFF.
SHARLEE, THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
YOUR SON, CAN WE GIVE A LITTLE
SHOUTOUT TO THE CUTEST LITTLE
BOY EVER.
BOY EVER. >> SO YOU TALK ABOUT HAVING THE
STUFF.
STUFF.
AND SOMEHOW ITS LOCKED INSIDE ALL OF US.W ITS LOCKED INSIDE
ALL OF US. DID YOU REALIZE YOU HAD THE
STUFF?
STUFF?
>> NO, I THINK IT TAKES CLOSE FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS TO LET
YOU NOEF.
YOU NOEF.
SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR FAMILY TELLS YOU, OH, YOURE SUPPOSED TO SAYLS
YOU, OH, YOURE SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT.
THAT.
YOURE MY PARENTS OR BROTHER. BUT SITTING DOWN WITH SAMPSON
AND HAVING A DISCUSSION ON A
PLANE RIDE, AND HE SAID TO ME
THAT I HAD -- WE DIDNT CALL IT
THE STUFF AT THAT TIME, BUT WHEN
HE SAID I HAD THIS INNER
FORTITUDE AND STRENGTH, I WAS
LIKE, WELL, MAYBE IF I DID,
LETS FIGURE OUT --
>> HOW TO HARNESS IT.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. >> YOU GOT THE STUFF TOO, DR.
DAVIS, IS THAT RIGHT?
>> I THINK SO.
ITS AN INNER FORTITUDE TO
SURVIVE AND OVERCOME.
WITH SHARLEE AND HER STORY, SHE
MADE IT SEEM LIKE CANCER WAS DO
LAUNDRY, KICK CANCER IN THE
BUTT, GO TO DINNER.
IT DIDNT IMPEDE ON HER LIFE AND
THAT CARRIED FORWARD IN
EVERYTHING SHE DO.
>> YOU HAD LIKE 11 GREAT
COMPONENTS THAT PEOPLE CAN
FOLLOW.
FOLLOW.
YOU SAY, FIRST, CHOOSE HOPE. >> RIGHT.FIRST, CHOOSE HOPE.
>> RIGHT. SO WE JUST EXPLAINED THE
ELEMENTS.
ELEMENTS.
WE WANTED TO INTERVIEW A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.RVIEW A LOT OF
DIFFERENT PEOPLE. WE HAVE ABOUT 15 STORIES IN THE
BOOK AND FIND THE COMMON THREAD.
IF WE CAN FIND THAT COMMON
THREAD AMOPGSNGST ALL OF THEM IN
DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE, THATS
WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE STUFF.
CHOOSE TO HOPE IS THE FIRST
ELEMENT.
ELEMENT.
AND THATS MAKING -- YOU HAVE A
CHOICE TO DECIDE YOURE GOING TO
TACKLE THE NEXT TASK OR TO
OVERCOME SOMETHING.
SO THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT
ELEMENT, I THINK, IS STARTING
WITH HOPE.
AND JUST BELIEVING YOU CAN DO
IT.
>> ATTITUDE.
>> THE OTHER ONE, DEVELOP YOUR CHI.HE OTHER ONE, DEVELOP YOUR
CHI.
>> WE COLLECTED HUNDREDS OF STORIES AND NARROWED IT DOWN TO
15, ITS ESSENTIALLY YOU HAVE TO
HAVE PEOPLE SUPPORTING YOU, YOU
HAVE TO HAVE A NETWORK.
YOU SEE IT WITH SHARLEE AND HER
FAMILY.
FAMILY.
WE HAVE THE ONEIL FAMILY IN THE BOOK.VE THE ONEIL FAMILY IN THE
BOOK.

DISEASE AND THEY QUARANTINED THEMSELVES FOR TWO YEARS.NED
THEMSELVES FOR TWO YEARS. >> THIS THIRD ONE WERE GOING TO
HIT IS IMPORTANT, REFUSE TO GIVE
IN TO FEAR.
EVERYONE HAS THAT VOICE IN THE
BACK OF THEIR HEAD TELLING YOU
TO BE AFRAID.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
>> TRYING TO BE FEARLESS,
THOUGHING THAT ITTHOUGH
ING

-- KNOWING THAT ITS OKAY TO FAIL.OWING THAT ITS OKAY TO

IF YOURE TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR
LIFE, THERE IS NO WAY TO FAIL. SO DONT LET FEAR STOP YOU FROM
