Olympian Shares How To Rebuild A Life Of Purpose After You’ve Lost Everything – Lyubim Kogan and Lily Patrascu Lubim Kogan, five-time first-generation immigrant, Winter Olympian, 9-11 World Trade Center survivor, and NYU Stern graduate, rebuilt his life by finding a mission bigger than himself through founding Wings for Heroes, helping amputee veterans rediscover purpose through flight. He emphasizes that true rebuilding starts by reconnecting with deep personal purpose, often found in quiet moments like 4 a.m. reflection. Lubim believes success comes from relentless pursuit, patience, and focusing on one step at a time, allowing the next steps to reveal themselves naturally. He warns that chasing financial goals alone leads to emptiness, while aligning purpose with passion sustains long-term fulfillment. Inspired by Steve Jobs, he advises daily reflection to ensure one truly loves their path and adjusts if not.
