I watched the first few minutes of a show that had a lovely woman who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she had gone through radiation twice and her body didn't respond well, and she is left with no alternatives. Though I have no idea if she is even attempting the non-traditional holistic route, just to see at least, but that isn't why I am here. She was saying that now she is making her happiness important in her life. If there is something not working, she changes it so that it does work or it isn't a part of her anymore. She is not alone, I have heard this many times from people who have, or are, experiencing a very big life threatening illness, whether it be a horrific accident, cancer, heart disease/attacks.
Why do we wait until we have a terminal illness to change our lives in such a positive way? I am writing this to say that I have made the commitment to myself to make my life as joyful as possible, if something isn't working right then I will change it, if I am not doing something I like, then I will change it. I refuse to have to resort to an illness to have a wake up call, I am learning from others so I don't have to go through it myself.
I encourage everyone else out there to choose yourself and your happiness, I know that change isn't always the easiest of things to do, but I promise once you have done it, it will feel amazing, and you will be grateful for doing it. Don't wait to be forced into it, just start with little steps.
