Climbing out of a hole...

The mind is willing, but the body is weak! MS is a chronic disease not a terminal one that is characterized by fatigue as one of its many symptoms. My mind has been minimally affected and often I find myself wanting to do things that would require too much energy. I think about this and I literally have to will myself to do it. It's kind of a drag. I quickly discovered that most things aren't that important or critical and they are placed in the "bigger fish to fry" category. When I do accomplish a task I almost hurt myself patting myself on the back and giving thanks to God. You have to dig yourself out of this hole called depression and keep doing what you had been doing to the best of your ability fighting gravity every step of the way.

Embracing The Uncomfortable

As a teacher and instructor I realized that for learning to occur people need to step out of their comfort zone. I would tell them if they're not uncomfortable then I'm not doing my job. In life it's important to do things that make us a little uncomfortable. As human beings it's the way that we learn. Choose something that you're comfortable with that you want to change and decide that you're going to embrace change. The majority of us don't like change. We want things to remain the way that they have always been. This isn't realistic though. Things in life are constantly in a state of flux. What do you want or need to change? Will you accept this? Will you embrace this change?

Leap And The Net Will Appear!

I consider myself to be a risk taker. The majority of business owners are. The concept of leaping first and the net appearing is a Zen principle. It's really about having faith and being willing to take a risk and trusting that things will work out for the best. I just watched a video by Steve Harvey where he talks about your parachute and how it won't open until you jump first. Are you willing to take a leap of faith and jump into your destiny?
