Lesson 4
There are changes in your life that will occur as the result of age, injury or disease and the effects of these changes can range from trivial to quite pronounced.
But how you respond to these changes will have a far greater impact on the quality of your life than the changes themselves.
It is the rare person that can go through life without injury or disease and we all know how getting older can slow down the body. These things are unavoidable. You can wish that they didn't happen but you'll have better luck standing in the front yard wishing it would rain gumdrops.
When you are faced with a change due to age, disease or injury, you have two choices – you can focus on the things you can't do quite the same any more or you can focus on how to do the things you can. In most cases, there are ways to overcome limitations if you look hard enough.
The most important thing to remember is that "stepping up" beats "giving up" every time. When you live your life the very best that you can – with the body that you have – you will have a far richer life than you would if you sat dreaming about what might have been.
