Sometimes you don’t choose to change your perspective on life. You are forced to do it.
“The results are back. You have cancer.” What do you do when you get that call?
You don’t take it! You fight. You don’t back down. And you face this thing head on. Because you are strong. You are a warrior. You are not a victim. You are a survivor.
But then you cry. Because you will be changed forever. It is ugly, it is sad, it is terrible and it is a major loss. You will lose a lot so it is ok to be upset. It is a terrible illness that only aims to rob you of your life, your joy and your time. But know that you will get through this.
Your perspective will change. You have no choice.
1. You are going to be weak. You will need to rely on people.
2. No 2 days will be the same. You are going to have to be flexible.
3. There are lots of waiting. You are going to have to be more patient.
4. You will be faced with things you have never had to face before. You will need to have more grace with yourself.
5. You will have many questions. And you may not get answers to all of them. This is the toughest. You are going to have let go.
