Thank you for volunteering. Okay, I know that we all did not willing volunteer for this, and the details are a little vague. “YOU” like me are here now, we have ms and there is no cure. We can not make it go away, no matter how much money we spend, no matter how hard we pray or beg and plead. We all have some form of ms and it will NEVER leave us. It will not go away and it is very likely to get worse. These are the facts as much as we may wish otherwise.
Sadly, the fact is that “YOU” and I have a chronic, incurable, potentially disabling medical condition. Nobody can make it go away, nobody. This may sound sad but let me tell “YOU” a secret. A script that few know, and fewer follow. Yes, we will get worse, BUT, “YOU” can start now and make a choice how your getting worse will be. It is possible to get worse with a smile on your face and a shrug of the shoulders. A devil may care attitude, and a I got this illness, but it does not have me. Look for and find the resources that “YOU” need to gt through each day. Break your problems into small bitesize morsels that “YOU” can cope with. Do not closely plan for fifty years with ms. Plan on throwing your leg out of bed and standing up. Once “YOU” have achieved this go onto the next problem. Solve your ms life one little piece at a time.
“YOU” will be able to do this. One bit at a time, done receptively and “YOU” will be achieving your very own ms mission. Do not doubt yourself, “YOU” can do this my sibling. “YOU” have it within “YOU”. The occasional tear, grimace or curse is ok. We are not perfect. We will and do make mistakes. But, the mission to live a life to our fullest is there. We have accepted it and we will accomplish our mission no matter what the odds. I was told at first that I would be in a chair quickly. I did not accept this, I got better advice and straightened myself out. Got back on my missions (life) path. Lived, lived the best I could and so should “YOU. Greatness is within “YOU”, whatever it may be.
Your mission is not over. Not yet, not by a long way. It is your choice to Live your mission to its fullest or to weep in a cold corner, endlessly. The occasional tear is allowed. Endless pitiable weeping is not. Get up, stand up straight and start living.
