And was given a chance to visit. What would you tell that past version ( before the MS ). Maybe some words of wisdom or suggest maybe some different courses of action. What comes to mind?????????
I would tell my past self , not to worry about the little things and everything doesn’t have to be perfect.
Man was i a idiot over the years with many things. Just tell myself I'm lucky to be alive with the many things I have done.
Hi More2live-ally,
I would like to answer your question. MS does not live within me 24/7. On sunny days, at sunrise and sunset, in nature, while laughing and being with loved ones I completely forget it ever existed at all. It is a small part of the landscape of my life story and I owe my life story to Him. So He decides. Everything is a lesson. Good or bad. Abide, Recognize, Receive. Judge by the fruit that the lesson brings, not the lesson itself. That is what I would tell my younger self. The self that wasn't aware of how my actions took part in my journey, no matter how well intentioned. Love yourself. Love your life. It is a gift. Some days it's the White elephant gift, or the boobie prize, but it is a gift, and it will soon be over for everyone. Like the long lines at the amusement park. Before you know it you are on the ride and it goes so fast that you wonder if you were even aware of it. Put it all in perspective.
Oh and this is a big one. It is not all about you. In fact, very little is about you in the world, on the planet, in the universe. You are but a pixel in the big picture. Surrender the part of yourself that wants to control everything or anything. Sure we have to work, pay bills, navigate a medical condition that the world does not know exactly why it happens or how to make it go away. That is the stuff that is built for faith. What are your other options?
I would tell my past self to pursue all my dreams, not let anyone bring me down and not to be so hard on myself.
Whatever happens don’t give up on Jesus and your education
