On Wednesday I got my MRI results back and was given possibly the best new, I could have asked... they said that although , they can still see a small area on the scan where they operated this could well be scar tissue. Out of all three of my surgeries this has been the most successful... removing the majority of the tumour!! and to top that I got 62% for an essay. Which is the highest grade I have got on an essay ever!! As I write this I am waiting for two further essays which I know I could well fail as based on my grades last year I could well fail! But being knocked down with a fail on an essay just means that this semester I have to work a little more on getting a pass. Anyway back to what I wanted to talk about! I saw a someone speak about life and its mean, purpose and value. So I wanted to write an open letter to express something which I won't give a tittle , as I want to ask you to create your own... and also I couldn't think of one! To whom it may concern...... You can look at life in a variety of ways, each of its own value, meaning and milestone. We spend each day moving, coasting through the good the bad and same old.... why? to search for acceptance. We are the controllers of this 'acceptance' by looking more towards what the things we are not! we move the line of what s okay further and further out of our reach.... and my question is, how is this helpful?.... by moving the goalpost away from the point at which we stand... its making getting there harder than it actually was to begin with. BELIEVE, that by being unique and by having faith in what you can achieve. Be that a small step forward to another's five.... I can cast back to when I thought the hardship and load would get easier just by waiting.... but one thing I can say for sure is that it wont unless you, have belief and faith in the you! that was created from the day you where born, to now! I know pain will follow and its not going to be easy to overcome the obstacles. And you may well find yourself asking was the decision to not give up, the right one and it may well have been. However by giving up you are not testing yourself , and okay it sounds like the easier option. But every day you fall to your feat, you can get back up stronger than you had been moments before because someone if you know it or not has faith, that you can achieve. My mum has always said its not you cant, rather you can and I know you find it hard but try and if you really cant then ask for help but first try. I am not going to sugar coat it, because trying is never easy, its alot of hard work but sometime why we fight can bring us to find 'acceptance'. To challenge the obstacles, creates greatness. When looking in the mirror, tell yourself what you see! Even without being there I can tell you what that is, ' greatness to embrace what has to come'. When we think of tomorrow do we see another day, time for pain or opportunity. Sometimes you don't have to understand what tomorrow is nor what it brings because by aiming to understand what is to come, we forget to focus on the today. Benjamin Franklin once said 'If you do tomorrow what you did today, you will get tomorrow what you got today'. It took me a while to grasp this but by conforming to fit in and be accepted we miss the meaning of why we are here. The dreams, ambitions and goals which if we repeat what today was we will get the same outcome tomorrow. So believe that the thing that makes you stand out as this, is the thing that will make tomorrow different.
