MORNING RAY OF SUNSHINE
WE ARE NOT OUR AILMENTS
Illness, injury, chronic ailments cause acute distress, anxiety, depression even. But that doesn't mean life comes to a full stop. Or we stop chasing our goals, give up on doing the things we love, relinquish having fun.

Your morning ray of sunshine, bahannan sefkumar. We are not our illness. Illness, injury, sometimes chronic ailments of pain are all part of life. It's only natural that they cause acute distress, anxiety, depression even. We all want a normal healthy life and when it is denied to us, it is agonizing, mentally and physically. But that doesn't mean life comes to a full stop. Or that we stop chasing our goals, give up on doing the things we love, relinquish having fun, no way. There are so many live examples of people around us who have fought cancer, autoimmune disorders, now that truly debilitating afflictions and still been rays of sunshine and joy for everyone in their lives. Everything about, like everything is fine, doing everything they would otherwise do. They are able to do this cause they realize they are not their illness, they are in fact much more. The disease is real and part of their lives, but they don't allow it to define them or limit them. They detach from it, rise above and live their lives gloriously. And so can we, if we accept that we are not fine, but don't make the malady, the be all and end all of our existence, instead, embrace all the good that life has to offer and rebel in every joy there is. Pretty soon, we will have to be reminded that there is something wrong with us. Sunshine in your day. [Music] [MUSIC PLAYING]
