When it comes to the power of the mind, the average person may feel more like a slave to circumstance, the whims of chance, or the sail beneath a cruel wind. And, beyond on all reason, certainly not capable of controlling personal destiny with any kind of power of the mind whatsoever.
As time goes by though, most of us find out that that is not true. History and personal growth tell us that we are in more control than first believed. How? With our power over our personal minds.
Take Fibromyalgia for example.
Do we succumb to the pain and stiffness or move about as best we can and keep on searching for answers?
Do we feel threatened and at risk because of the intense pain or do we take the point of view that the it is merely letting us know that something is wrong. Our job is to figure out the problem, fix what we can and learn to live with the lessons made clear to us along the way of the Fibromyalgia life journey.
I invite you to search further for the answer by checking out a post I made earlier this week at Get Well Health. Take a look the ideas there. Let me know what you think. Good, bad or indifferent, illnesses like Fibromyalgia have a lot to teach us if we are willing and teachable students.
