Rather Be Healthy

In life we all go through good times and bad times, admittedly some are better than for others and worse than for others, but it’s strange how we all tend to think about those other people as just “lucky” or “unlucky”.

I think we all know someone we knew as kids or worked with many years ago who for some strange reason had an incredible stroke of luck or we can think of others as people who were just terribly unlucky and suffered with an illness or bad luck in their relationships.

After some fairly horrible and painful events in my life I’ve been forced into making changes in  the way I live. I’m not living in my $550,000 house in Colorado, I’m no longer earning a 6 figure income and not in a marriage and I have MS.

But, I’m not sad, I’m not unhappy, I’m not depressed even though I’m now back in the often wet England in a small flat. I’m actually quite happy, and no that’s not because I’ve just accepted the changes as “this is as good as I could expect” no, it’s because I have a totally different perspective on life.

Jobs..

Well not so much jobs but positions. I’m referring to the positions we all hold in life, a lot of the time they are almost the same as other people, d’ya think I’m babbling on? Ok lets look at mine and if I was good or bad at them.

Firstly I was a son and over the years, almost 61 of them I’d like to think I’ve been good, in the early years I think I was a bit of a handful but in the main I’d say I’ve been a good son.

My second position was Brother, slightly different to other brothers than to my sister’s. I can remember at times I was a pain in the ass to both but I definitely haven’t been a bad brother.

The first two are positions I’ve ways had but the remainder have been temporary depending on where I’ve lived.

I suppose next comes Friend, during this expansive time so far there have been many people that I’ve been a friend to but I’ve been quite picky over who I’ve chosen to be close to so not as many as most people. Because of this I can honestly say that I think I’ve been good.

Neighbours kid…years ago in Liverpool I think I wasaittle terror

Schoolboy… not good so snuff said…

Army apprentice. Hmmm, I suppose I could have and should have done better.

Various employee. In 25 different jobs, did ok in most.

Salesman. For more than 30 years I worked mainly in the I.T.industry and in most jobs I was good at what I did. Some just in sales and some in management, but as I said I’d say I was good.

Somewhere in there is Skydiver, not brilliant but a reasonable jumper.

Husband.. three times, well if I said I was also divorced three times and no longer marriedI think it would be fair to say, I sucked.

Father.. My two kids don’t talk to me so the same applies to this.

Foreigner.. I lived in Colorado in the US for eleven years, a good Brit to the majority I met.

Client Service Director. I worked for the world leading authority in biological dentistry and complimentary medicine and healing. Ok this is where I excelled. During a nearly four year period I talked with more than 17,000 patients. I can honest say that I personally helped several thousand of them and I’m  very proud of what I did. I’m also humbled by my connection with some amazing medical and dental professionals I associated with.

Disabled geezer in Worksop. Is my current role and in this I’m doing well. Considering I was diagnosed with an incurable and life threatening disease 12 years ago and the neurologist told me I would be in a wheelchair permanently within 6 months if I didn’t take the medicine. Well I never have and other than journeys out, I’m not, so well done me.

The mind is an incredible thing, it’s not a tangible thing really, I mean you can’t have surgery on your mind like you could on a limb or organ. So what is it? For something that isn’t a physical thing it’s incredibly powerful, ok this “thing” lives in your brain, I think, well the majority lives there but I think a part of it lives in the heart. We make decision to do something or be somewhere depending on how we feel about something or someone so a joint decision is made.

I’m writing about this because of me, I’ve made the choice to try my hardest to fix myself. The medical experts say my condition is unchangeable. So everyday I try my hardest to live….to perform the most basic functions, it hurts, I stumble a lot. There are lots of times during the day when my legs, mainly my left just won’t do what I want, as in not move. When this happens my upper body has already anticipated the movement so a total misunderstanding between both halves resulting in a stumble or fall.

Going back to the mind, I truly believe that my mind is capable of restoring harmony within the rest of the old place it lives, as in me, what everyone knows as Stefan.

So I have no time or place for negativity.

I just have to remain confident and convince the piece that’s having doubts, because whether I think I’ll fail or if I think I’ll win, I’m right.
