Sharing What He Learned from Cancer

Eric Smith decided to make a change in the way he lived after being diagnosed with Cancer. During his treatments he realized the importance of absorbing every moment of his life as if it were his whole life, and the idea of 'Live Now' was born. 'Live Now' is a growing collection of friends, powerfully pursuing the notion of 'living now' by communicating through artwork, literature, relationships, exhibitions and more.

More from Eric Smith of Live Now:

“Some time ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Instantly perspective changed within me! The fearful, human part of my being wanted to resist this disease, label it as “bad”, and be at the mercy of this situation. But the essence of my spirit knew that this situation could not be isolated from the hidden harmony I seek to follow each day. Having my physical life threatened, provoked within me a strong separation between my spiritual and physical being. Although my physical body was being attacked ... my spiritual essence was untouchable.”

“My experience with cancer was this; Live Now! Cancer changed the way I ate, slept, and most importantly, the way I live. Before cancer I was like most folks, just cruising along. It was during my treatment, when I started to discover what cancer could gift to me - the ability to absorb every moment as if each one were my whole life. The Live Now Project was born!”
