What would you do in life if you weren’t sick? What would you do if you were completely healthy? What were you doing before you got sick and were completely healthy? Did you take that health for granted? The answer is probably “yes.” We all do. We all take for granted the place and time that is the present moment. So what to do about that?
If you’re healthy, get up and don’t waste a moment in going after what gives you joy!!!! There is no other moment to do it or prepare for it like the present. You have good health. Be aware of how rich you are because of it. How long will you postpone going after what fills you? And why would you?
If you are not healthy, determine whether you are not doing it because you have fear or whether it really is not possible for you physically. If it’s because of fear, face the fear; give it the finger and go! We can’t let fear be what defines our life with disease. The thoughts of “what if” will disable you further in life. Don’t allow that to happen. That switch from “what if” to “I’m doing it” may turn into the best thing that happens to you. It certainly will be, if you’re doing what your heart wants to do.
Now, for those of us whose physical disability may make it a real problem? Find ways of circumventing whatever it is that is an issue. Please don’t think I am minimizing your circumstances. But, it’s important that you keep living. So, start thinking of ways in which you can do what your heart wants. Sure, it might not be easy, but I guarantee it will be worth it. I believe that if you continue to push through to those things, people, and/or events that give you joy; they will also improve your health. No matter what the state of your health is, make sure you are living. Make each breath count. The beauty of determination and the the mind is that it can change the course or disease. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to win.
