Enjoyment is possible in any situation when I choose to tap into the wonder and concentrate only on what I can control. Admitting that I don’t know liberates me to enjoy situations like adventures. A constant mindset of learning helps me to uncover what I would otherwise miss when I insist that I know. Life is an adventure when there is something to discover.

 Accepting that change happens continuously and that I am a part of something greater, it is easier to adapt my plans and pay attention to life’s subtle guidance. Without thinking of change with a negative viewpoint, every effort to adjust is a growth opportunityI had not expected and am free to appreciate.

 I was taught that having knowledge and being able to recite it would prove my intelligence and assist my survival. My life doesn’t align with that and I’ve learned that a curiosity for learning and a willingness to accept not-knowing offers more discoveries and allows me to survive with the treasure I held within.

 I know that people are human beings struggling with who they are in the life they live. I recall my experience as a teenager living with epilepsy at a time when epilepsy was hardly known. Despite my unique experience, it was not different from other people's experiences. Perspective helps me to recognize how human I am, despite my differences.

Reflecting on knowledge that wasn’t available thirty years ago and coming to terms with my truth. What happened can’t be changed and I am grateful that it never broke me. I can embrace the truth and discover where it takes me.
