Life’s Challenges

If you are disabled or have other health issues, you face so many more challenges than other people. Or if you are a parent raising a child with health issues, parenting is so much harder. These are just facts.

At times these challenges can consume you. And if you are not careful they can deflate you, and you end up a shell of yourself.

Whenever I get in this mindset I try to remember the quote from Marcus Aurelius:

The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

The challenges becomes the path for you. It is hard but try to embrace the challenges and take pride in addressing the situations you face. All you need to do is keep moving forward. Trust yourself that you have the ability to make it through anything. You have done it in the past and you will continue in the future.
