I was having dinner with my friend last night and she said something that struck me. In fact, a few other people have said it too. They say "your strong to go through this" or "I don't know how you do it". I was thinking about those phrases as I was trying to go to bed last night. It's amazing what humans can do.
We tend to think that the next big thing is insurmountable. We find ourselves thinking that we don't have time for another thing in our lives. Most recently I've been thinking:
- If I go back to school, where will I find time to study?
- If we have kids, where will I find time to spend with them?
- If you get treatments, how do you survive dealing with the side effects?
It's amazing what we can do when the need is great. Anything you need to do, you can do. It's simple and amazing but we manage. We manage to find time for the things that matter and the strength to get through the things we never thought we could. It reminds me of a quote from Walt Disney:
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
