Life on Earth will never be fair the way we expect it to be.
You change the rules or you are going under.
A compromise is done willingly and out of love. You don't go away thinking, "I betrayed myself."
When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.
Choice is your greatest power. It is an even greater power than love, because you must first choose to be a loving person.
We are also very presumptuous to negate the possibility that an illness may be a gift. It's a neutral experience is what I'm trying to say. It should be viewed in some regard as no different than any other experience.
