We all have an internal compass (spirit within) that guides us to what it is we are suppose to do in the life that is given to us. That internal compass comes with a great deal of passion in order to get one to pursue that purpose. However, often times, especially these days with stressful life events hitting the World can add to any of our existing ailments.
Just the other day, I watched the Lifetime movie on Simone Biles, Olympic Gold Gymnast who needed her ADHD medication in order to accomplish her purpose. Passion and innate ability gave her the strength, agility and power to physically perform but she still needed something to help her concentrate and stay focus on her main purpose.
Demi Lovato, is Bipolar and requires her medication in order to pursue her purpose as a singer.
Olympian Gold Medalist Swimmer, Michael Phelps, also with ADHD.
Jessica Alba has OCD and not only is she a successful actress but rather a very successful entrepreneur with a $1.7 Billion company called Honest.
Just feel free to google celebrities with disorders and you will be amazed that YOU are not alone. And, to boot, they are NOT ashamed to tell you about their difficulties. In fact, they share to put hope and to show that one can conquer our ailments. “We are much more than our ailments.” ©Emma Ortega Negrete
I mentioned my story over and over about my chronic back pain with anxiety. It’s in my author’s page link below. Long story short, I suffered a back injury in 2007, a week after started having anxiety attacks and 11 years later I am still taking medications for pain and anxiety. If I didn’t, I honestly wouldn’t be alive…honestly. However, I through the power of God (that internal compass) have managed to write and publish inspirational books, life coach multimillionaires, actors/actresses, CEOs, doctors, nurses and the list goes on. I continue my exercise for health and am now 55years young, mother and grandmother. I’m here to live my best life ever without any excuses and with no one’s permission to pursue my dreams.
So what’s the difference between us with ailments and you? Are you willing to take the step(s) to get the help you need and not care about what others think or have to say about you even if they are in your own family and/or friends circle. Dump the toxic people that aren’t helping you become your Best You. Kick them to the curb!!!
Heck, I have family members and/or friends that need to be on some form of medication but worry more about what others will say. They ain’t paying my bills or feeling my pain! F*ck them!
What I’m hoping for is that anyone suffering with any type of disorder or ailment whether it be temporary or not, do what you have to in order to get to your best self. Once you are at your best self you can execute what your passion(s) are and become the person you were meant to be. God makes no mistakes.
And, guess what? YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE BUT RATHER A MASTERPIECE.
