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.

 The journey to achieve greatness often distracts me from remembering that I am human and still developing. Perceiving what doesn’t go my way as reminders and lessons presents hope for more to come.

 Reflecting on the importance of perspective in adverse situations and being conscious of what to carry away from a situation. It is in how we choose to nurture our perceptions that leads to our reality.

 Reflecting on what my experience with seizure recoveries taught me. Acceptance and a willingness to learn turned adversity into blessings.

When I perceive an opposition as a sign for change, I don’t stay frustrated because I see it as an opportunity to grow. What could have been an annoyance evolves into a blessing as I openly flow with the experience. Failure is never a hindrance when I’m discovering more!

Perseverance is not only a response to adversity, it is a deliberate choice to accept what I encounter. Choosing perseverance is my key to growth and enjoyment!

 Reflecting on a mantra that sustains me through challenges.

Reflecting on the realization of the experience that is the root of who I am.

Reflecting on the beauty of awakening and anticipating the Spring season.

Sharing a constant battle that I must face in order to learn as my present self.

Believing is the first step to becoming. Focus on your intention and know your why to keep growing with the changes.

Reflecting on how the past has affected my mind and the effort required to reprogram old habits.

For whenever there is motivation to reach a new level, I must make it possible by staying present and accepting who I am.

To be conscious of now, I had to explore my past, forgive what had to be and sort through what is no longer necessary.

A reflection on life experiences; different ways to view and work with situations that cannot be helped.

The choice to ‘give it your all’ is an act of Divine love. It means a lot and matters to our outcomes.

A reflection of when fearful doubts cause us to lose sight of who we actually are.

Facing the fears my seizures created and admitting that it can’t be repeated.

Reflecting on a way of embracing and utilizing fear.
