I'm no stranger to shaking hands with the grim reaper and saying not today my friend but it was still quite an ordeal, probably not my worst tho. Liver near failure when I was 19 takes that gold medal to this day. I'm glad I came thru as well.

You're a tough cookie which is one of the reasons I like you so much. You're a get it done sort of gal and yet other aspects too I think so...Me likey that. I hope you're well Rebecca, getting shit done and feeling happy.
Awwe <3 Getting shit done slower than I would like to and happily, I'm pretty impatient and I want everything yesterday and I don't like getting slowed down! I suppose it's not a race as long as shit gets done.
Yeah, it's not a race and provided one is moving forward, that is: Active, proactive and motivated then it's all good. That's just my opinion though.
I see things pretty much the same way, life always has and will have obstacles, slow down when need be, pay attention and get back on the horse and get with it. Even if I feel like shit, sitting here not pushing ahead will get nowhere. I'm fine with being uncomfortable as long as it yields results in the end...no pain no gain.
Uncomfortable. That's something most can't abide however something I tell those I mentor they need to become because it's in getting out of the comfortable spaces of life where the value and progression truly lies. I'm pleased to hear you say it, and more so that you do it.
Well, people look into my life from a tiny window at what I get to see, and my successes fun or work, personal life, whatever it may be and they think I have this great life full of cool things that just fall from the sky onto my lap and they wonder what's wrong with them they can't have those things for themselves but they don't see my failures, dusting myself off and try again and again. They don't see that yeah like the next person, 90% turns to shit but the win are like winning the lottery and it's just a matter of putting yourself out there and keep trying until you get there. And yes, putting yourself out there is uncomfortable and yes it increases the risks as well. I used to wonder why I experience so many shitty hard things to deal with but I have realized, I take more risk but in the end it yields more rewards because of those risks. I like to say prepare for the worst and hope for the best so when bad things happen, it's easier to cope with because I was prepared ahead of time for that scenario. It's all a fine balance. I don't care if I live old or die young, nobody is getting out of here alive I just want a life well lived.
A good ethos to have as life is there to be lived,not wasted with the unimportant as many do. People with your ethos tend to live fuller lives methinks.
It's funny that people look at the success (or lives) of others as if it has all come so easily; in truth many things combine to bring success, fulfillment, comfort, enjoyment or whatever measure people use to define their life. It doesn't happen overnight. Those who observe others like you say are often the ones who will never take the steps required to have it for themselves. Jealousy, envy and the emotions they inspire, seems an easier option to those types.
