The Opportunity in Each Moment
We are given opportunities to become “NEW” in every moment. Our thoughts determine what we hold on to. Our thoughts determine what we are brave enough to let go of. It is a choice to hold on to broken, debilitating thinking, no matter how long it has been a part of our lives. It is also a choice to let that kind of thinking go. We can heal illness, we can cure the disorders, the diseases, the traumas. We can take steps to completely dissolve the presence of fear. We can choose to trust in something higher, an idea, the divine, and most importantly, the love that cherishes each of us. We can choose to give up and give in, we can choose to retreat and remain idle or we can fight and move forward. These are our choices. Which one will we choose right now; at this moment?
I was asked to write a piece about how I manage and overcome my illness each day. Anyone who knows me is aware that I no longer acknowledge its presence or power in my life. I spent many years suffering. I was hospitalized many times a year. I was limited and bound. I was challenged to the core each time illness decided to attack. I was proactive about a cure, even though I was told there wasn’t one. I searched and searched for answers because I was not going to accept this seeming ill fate and I was not going to give in to it.
