“Illness changes who we are.
Illness teaches, yet it tarnishes.
It can define, but it prefers to refine.
Illness has potential to divide,
But it can reconcile.
You are not your illness,
Yet your illness will shape who you become.
Will you be filled with hope?
Or bold with bitterness?
Illness will change you.
How will you allow it to change your life?” - Lisa Gopen
I want to remind you that each of us has the power to choose how this health journey will affect us. It's impossible to change what's happened, but we can change our mindset. It doesn't matter if you have been diagnosed recently or have been living with this condition for decades, we can shift our mindsets by choosing life and managing our conditions.
