The Disease Will Take Care of Itself

Have you ever been told that you have a disease?

Sets you back for a moment, doesn’t it? A moment where you think this can’t be possible. A moment where you think, “What? I’ve been doing everything ‘right’, everything I know how to do. I’ve been searching all of my options. How can this be right?”

What if you were in search of becoming the very best person you knew how to be and that’s when someone told you that you had a disease? Not a physical ailment, but an element of being lost, of being someone in search of something and that you were plaqued like a disease? Ouch.

I’ve been on a journey, a great journey to a better place of who I am, my authentic self. I’ve fought hard and pressed forward despite the opposition. I like where I am going and who I am when I am know I am in those moments of “aha”. So how can I have a disease? Really?

Well, the “expert” didn’t tell me I “had” a disease, but that my life, my “acting out” (if you will) was like a disease and that the “symptoms” could not be treated by Tylenol. Whoa. Acting out?

How about coming alive?

It was not sitting well with me this morning.

After some contemplation and a vision of what my future self looks like, I am okay with what was said about me, because I am on my way to “Radiance” –

radiant brightness or light, warm, cheerful brightness, rare – according to the dictionary. And, yes, that is how I see my future self. And knowing that refinement brings brilliance, radiance, I will therefore, look upon today, this moment as refinement. I will stay in the moment and not look too far ahead, except to who I want to be, Radiant.

The “Disease” will take care of itself.
