The fact that we have
a chronic condition shouldn’t be an impediment to give the best we have to
offer and excel in what we do. Things are not easy, but if you are willing to
go for that extra mile, your efforts will be rewarded.
Dealing with the
condition makes us face symptoms like fatigue and other debilitating stages
that are tied to emotional responses as well. Sometimes it is easy to get
frustrated over the fact that we feel too tired to complete a task. If we let
ourselves go, eventually, we will slide and become depressed and we will miss a
world of stuff we used to love.
Jesus told us to act
in humility, but leaving a legacy in all we do. Don’t be afraid to try and make
an effort, there is a reward in challenging ourselves exceeding our own
expectations. Surprise yourself with the things you’ll do.
Many lupus patients
keep working after overcoming serious episodes linked to their condition. Doing
the things you love, even with limitations is one definite step towards
healing. By incorporating the positive into our lives, that which we are
passionate about, we open ourselves to learn new lessons while touching the
lives of others who will benefit from our knowledge, work and effort.
Find your reason, get
out there, get active, and give the best you have to offer. This applies in all
areas. Even if the condition is keeping you homebound at the moment, take back
the reigns of your household, find that online course you always wanted to
complete, get ready to face the world once you overcome your particular
obstacle.
If you can no longer
work because of the condition, then find a venue to stay active, participate in
forums, write, do research, and help yourself and others. Always give.
The most important
thing is to do all in love and with a heart full of gratitude. Excel in what
you do, overcome, and don’t allow Lupus to define who you are.
