Yes, it is a journey, and we learn every step of the way. I feel like if we hadn't gone through struggles, we wouldn't have the first hand experience where we really know what we're talking about when it comes to what is good or bad, helpful or harmful. Everyone is guaranteed a death in this life, I'm at ease with that, but I'd also like to maintain a great deal more health than I used to.
My suggestion: think positively that you will become healthier, that you are healthy. With your natural way of life improvements are sure to come, but at their own speed and negative thinking never helps anyone. You continue to be an inspiration, always enjoy our conversations @wwf. Til next time!
