A bit of inspiration from a Japanese fisherman... Never give up on yourself. Even though you do not control the circumstances or the eventual outcome... you can control yourself!

When dealing with a serious illness, you can ponder why YOU are the one facing this, as you are a good person and do not deserve this.

This can come from the idea that the best life should be easy, and full of happiness and good experiences.

The combination of a difficult situation and our clear conviction that this should not be so, makes this harder to bear.

What if we change our perspective and our concept of life to be open to events and experiences like these? As we are more open, we can let these experiences transform us, not destroy us.

We can control how we face life, not much else.

Choose wisely.

Being satisfied is an internal process, not an external one. It depends on your ability to accept the circumstances of your life, and not fighting blindly what you cannot change.

When in doubt, open your heart. Always. Especially when it hurts, when things are terrible and everything is falling apart.

You need to courageously believe in yourself and your ability to heal, even if it might seem foolish.

There are so many things you cannot control in your healing journey, but believing in yourself is not one of them.

This does not mean you are guaranteed to get everything you want. It does mean that the best version of yourself shows up in your healing journey.

And remember, no matter what happens, you are loved, divinely guide and will be taken care of.

Be present to the opportunities of this day. Just because you are dealing with so much, does not mean that you cannot do your best to make it better for yourself.

Even though you feel somewhat hopeless, you can show up for yourself in small yet meanigful ways.

And this will make all the difference.

Just remember that you are not in control... and that this is a good thing. Focus on cultivating your relationship with God/Higher Power and trust that everyone, including yourself will be OK.
