The Fight Each Person Faces

Sun, 04/12/2015 - 10:29

I am not sure what inspired me to write this but it just might give some of you more willpower to go further in life. I am sure each person has had the feeling that epilepsy is peventing you from being who you want to be. I would say that any person who has this disorder has faced this at different times. Somehow, many of us learn how to overcome the problems caused by the social, psychological and physical problems caused by this disorder. I  know that I have looked at life through many different setbacks but I always take the time re-build my own self esteem. I know that many choices I have made in life have been shaped by this disorder but I also know that any time I have failed, my own inner strength has told me to push myself harder and try to adjust to the situation without giving up. I have not overcome every obstical I have had to face in life but I have learned how to adjust to these problems by taking the time to learn how manuver. If you ever feel that you just cannot make it further, take the time to re-evaluate the situation you are in. Know yourself well enough to say "I will not accept defeat". You might not achieve everything you want to achieve but at least you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have done everything possible to make yourself a better person.
