Life is all about how you look at things. I suppose there are those that have lived lives that have not been touched by some kind of traumatic event…but I haven’t met them. Life is filled with ups and downs…that is life. We may start out imagining how things should go, but then something upsets that plan and the road turns in a different direction and then that road takes us in a different direction. We could allow ourselves to become powerlessly overwhelmed by those changes or we can learn from them and grow. As long as you have that next day, you have that chance to make your life what you wish it to be. As a “survivor”, there have been times where I have been looked at by doctors…those packed with knowledge, who told me that there wasn’t all that much they could do for me. I could have taken that information, drowned in tears and thought about how soon I wasn’t going to be in the world anymore. I didn’t do that, I couldn’t accept that, I moved on, I found different doctors, different opinions, those with optimism and different information. My other doctors were good, but the fact was that if I hadn’t sought, I wouldn’t have found. Perhaps if I hadn’t had a previously challenged life, I wouldn’t have known to dig this deep…I don’t know, but you must. Life is too short. If you want to make a change in the plan, then you can do it. Life is all about change, both what happens to you, and what you make happen for you.
Change: It’s all about how you look at things
