Eventually, you realize that life isn't meant to be perfect, and that's okay! It's our experiences, both positive and negative, that shape our lives. While it's easy to focus on what has gone wrong, it's essential to remember the good things too. Even when we feel overwhelmed, focusing on the positives, no matter how small, can bring us joy and help us navigate life's challenges.
In recent years, I've learned that having something to look forward to is crucial. It could be an upcoming concert, a sporting event, or a get-together with friends. Many of us eagerly anticipate certain holidays, with Christmas being my favorite. Having the right outlook on life truly makes a difference.
Living with Becker Muscular Dystrophy, it's easy to get caught up in the risks of aging with this rare disease. However, no matter what happens, we must try our best to keep going and be thankful for the good things in our lives. This includes our friends, family, beloved pets, and the ability to connect with others in our community. For some, a beautiful day is enough to lift their spirits, while others find joy in a rainy day.
Yes, there will be times when we feel the need to accomplish more. Many of us wish we were better off physically and financially. Some wish their relationships were better, often focusing on a person's faults instead of appreciating all the good they bring into our lives. This post is a reminder to everyone, including myself, to focus on the positives. Life was never meant to be perfect, and most people's journeys are filled with ups and downs that we all manage to get through.
Sometimes, we believe happiness comes from material things, like owning an expensive vehicle or home, only to learn that these things don't always bring joy. What truly helps most of us is being part of a community, especially when dealing with a disability or any of life's challenges. It's so helpful to have someone to talk to who understands and can provide advice.
At times, we might expect to be happier at this point in life, but being content with what we already have is what's important. Sure, our lives could be better, but that doesn't mean we don't have dreams we hope to achieve, even when it seems more difficult. I get through life's challenges with hope, believing that miracles can still happen. Maybe one day, we'll be able to afford a home, or life will get better, and perhaps a cure for Muscular Dystrophy will be found.
Life is all about what you focus on. Sometimes, we need to do our best to look at the positives while dealing with the negatives. It's no lie when they say life is like a roller-coaster ride, with many ups and downs but also moments of pure excitement and joy!
