Good morning OOB, I hope all is well with you! We’ve finally had some summer days here in our valley. But along with it, we get an inversion that’s dropping all kinds of smoke from a wild fire into this valley. I can hardly see the peaks through it. Just one of the little annoyances we get for deciding to live in a mountain valley! There’s always the good and the bad points in everything we do in life. The hope is always that the good outweighs the bad. But it’s kind of a balance of life that we all seem to encounter in this world. If we didn’t have the negative side of things then how could we appreciate the positive? In fact, the world might just be kind of boring if everything were perfect. This is because our minds are geared to look for challenges and to seek the best solutions to these challenges. If there were no challenges in our lives then I think we would begin to look for them. It’s just the nature of us humans I think. But it’s what we do to achieve our goals that matters most. It’s how we go about creating the scenario that we need to win. It’s about how we learn from each challenge we overcome and how we apply that knowledge to the next one. So really, life is all about growth and in order to attain that growth we must learn and we must apply our past knowledge to the next tasks at hand if we are to continue our progression. This is why a group like OOB can be so important to us. Because we’ve all experienced some incredible problems in life when we found out we had hep C. And many have overcome this major obstacle in our lives. But it’s important to share what we’ve learned with others who are just starting out on the path of treatments. It’s important to use our past knowledge to take some of the fear of the unknown away from another. We have this power because we’ve lived that world. We have this power because we’ve fought in that world. We have the power because we care enough to make the path of tx just a little easier for another using the love, knowledge and compassion that comes with being a dragon slayer. We do this by example and with our past knowledge of a thing that so many haven’t experienced before. We show others that the goal of life is an attainable goal so long as we always try to overcome the obstacles in our life. So long as we continue onward, always believing that we can achieve what we desire. So ride on fellow dragon slayers. Take each obstacle in life and treat it like it has a life of it’s own for in a way it does. After all, it’s the gateway to our futures. What we do today always determines what will happen tomorrow. Onward to the future my friends! Chuck |
