Like anything in life that goes against your grain changing your mindset is hard work. Unless you're a toddler easily shaped by the viewpoints of the adults around you, chances are you have your mind made up. I guarantee that the little girl in the picture that accompanies these words didn't complain about the cast that adorned her right leg. I'm quite sure the little girl didn't complain about the constant visits to the doctor. It's a mind thing. Today, I remain without complaints. I'm learning how to not get caught up in the drama and the ill conceived rhetoric that is often spewed towards others. It's not as easy as it may seem but by constantly checking myself it has made me more aware of my thoughts and the thoughts around me. I remain grateful for this journey and I continue to be optimistic about what I will discover about myself at the end of this. My dream is that I will live the rest of my days living with the physical scars but with the same twinkle in my eye and happy smile I displayed those 30 something years ago in that picture!! |
