The past must be used a trampoline and not as a sofa bed

I read something the other day and it got thinking me how leave us our impact for our future. It wasn't that I felt invincible and imaginary myself a long and happy life long ago. This belief was shattered when I was diagnosed with cancer. I entered a very dark time in my life where I have called all my beliefs already firmly held in question. Perhaps I did not invincible after all! I may not going to live a long and happy life!

I was able to spend eight months in treatment, ok, but in the end, I was tired and broken. My faith in my world had all but collapsed. I felt as if I am trapped deep underground with no exit conceivable. I had no notion of a future and felt that any investment in the future for me was unnecessary. I was intent on assembling a memory book for my daughters with a 'lessons I learned', I wanted to pass their because I don't think I would be here to transmit to them the words and the Act.

A few months after the end of my treatment, I had the opportunity to spend time with a few people asked me a few questions of life change and gave me the tools to dig my way out of this hole and use the experience of the challenge that I faced to learn and grow.

I had to take a check of the reality of my life (which is at best a difficult experience), but with a point of departure in sight, I was able to set a destination and create a future for me. Each challenge facing us, we have a choice. We can sit on the couch of life and stagnate or we can use this challenge as a trampoline to grow and mature and learn.

I have often said that is sick has been a blessing disguised for me. I was able to make the balance in my life and release of beliefs that were so keep playing me small, such as "I am not good enough", "I am better margins than in the game. Too scared to show me where the world collapsed around for me. But this has changed.

If there is one thing that I learned to be ill, it must fully live every day. Every opportunity to shine and do not delay of doing things because you regret leaving these opportunities slip by. Life is too short to be unhappy. Use your challenges as a trampoline spend your life at a location more large and workplan.
