Do you ever wish things were easier - yes? Well knock it off! Wishing never got us anything. I spent years wising for this, that and the other especially when it comes to my illness. Guess what? Wishing didn't work. But I'll tell you when I started coaching myself through the tough days, asking fro help and praying for strength and hope instead of wishing for a miracle my entire life changed. The truth is I am a lot happier now - I am also working harder then ever. I'd love to tell you that changing your life was easy - that it was a one time deal - that you could do it and reap the rewards forever. I have yet to find a way to make that happen. But don't worry you'll be the first to know if I figure that out! Sometimes the truth just sucks - this illness is hard. It's a daily battle but I'm still here and so are you. Cheers friends! We made it through 2013 and 2014 is going to be our year. Why? Because I said so! Because I believe it and i hope you do to. You have to tell yourself until you believe and then you have to believe with every fiber of you r being and then you have to make others believe. Are you strong enough to do that - I know you are. You are a part of this community now, here Between Health & Wealth avenues and only the awesome survive here. We thrive here. This is your place as much as it is mine.
I already told you how I have changed this year - when it comes to changing your happiness you have so much to gain, nothing to lose and don't need to worry about your physical limitations. Your mind is infinitely more powerful then your body. And it's a darn good thing. We can climb mountains, be brought back to life, survive catastrophes and chaos and still come out on top. It is in our nature to survive and then thrive.
The first thing you need is hope.
The second thing you need is something and someone to live for.
The third thing you need is to believe in yourself.
The fourth thing you need to believe in is happiness itself. And you have to want it too!
If it's been awhile reach back - all the way back to your happy memories and reveal in it. Did you know you can be happy and have a chronic illness - I missed the memo on that for 12 years! It doesn't mean I am happy about my illness or that it makes me glad but I am trying everyday to accept it and accept myself. I HAVE STRENGTH & I KNOW YOU DO TO. TOGETHER WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE. Here's to Health, Wealth, Happiness & Hope in 2014! Blessings on each and everyone of you! Y'all come back now ya hear? PEACE, Audrey
Audrey & Adam - keeping fun alive despite Lyme! |
