Re: Another Sad Post - Today i lost my business

VX has good advice!

One of my lowest points was when I had to get intravenous hydrogen peroxide. I was in a room with people who had, imo, MUCH worse problems than I did!! Everyone was on an IV. It was like a scene from "Brave New World" or something. Anyway, these people introduced themselves to me and told me what they were afflicted with.. brain tumors, serious heart attack..etc. How embarrassed was I when I said er...allergies and sinus infections?? The great thing was, they didn't judge me, they knew if I was there that I was in the same boat as they were. Now, at one point another athlete (I was an athlete b/f I got sick) became a patient. He was a long distance runner who had contracted a very serious virus. I'll never forget him, because, although he was an elite runner, he told me, in the most dejected way, "I will never run again"... I thought that was so sad, but of course, allowed him just to talk about it. It was sad to me because he had allowed his fear, stemming from this traumatic turn of events, to keep him from dreaming and hoping. You know, it may sound crazy to you, but, of all the things that candida takes away, it also gives us a great deal. It gives us the ability to transcend our current situation and believe that "better is possible" even though everything around us is always worse. The suffering gives us grace and let's us know that we are strong and can handle anything. And it helps us have the power of our convictions. Candida forces you to deal with low self esteem, to separate out what really matters in life from all the negative "static" in your mind. You will emerge, not only physically better, but more "you", wiser, kinder to yourself, able to, not only dream, but to be brave enough to fulfill your dreams. That's not such a bad thing, is it?
