What it Means to Live Beyond Your Illness

When you live beyond illness you transcend your role as a victim of illness and all the negative feelings, habits and beliefs that come with it. You know that being the victor doesn’t always mean one is free from illness. You appreciate the fullness of life. You set a course to cultivate fullness within and around your experience with illness. You discover how to activate inner peace, create opportunities, and access your personal power. You find your way to personal freedom in spite of your illness and even because of your illness. You create a life where illness is a part, but not the whole of it all.

The road to living beyond illness isn't accessible to only a lucky few. You do not need a golden ticket. It's open to us all. Each and every one of us is both deserving and capable of accessing our personal power, moving past our fears and learning to live beyond illness. Living beyond illness involves recognizing who you are now and who you will need to become in order to create the life you want. It’s about persevering through waves of uncertainty. And it's about playing a bigger role in your health and happiness than you might originally have thought possible and doable.

When you live beyond illness you want to be more and do more than following doctor’s orders, taking your meds, worrying, wishing, and waiting. You venture through illness and your role as a patient with a willingness to be the novice--finding your footing, and your unique ways to thrive. All the while gently reminding yourself of the many roles you’ve successfully played throughout your life. You remember that every role begins with an entry point and carries waves of uncertainty, moments of glory, unknown factors, and a desire to make it through.

You believe in your ability to be a rising star that soars above adversity in pursuit of greater health and happiness. You design your role as patient to suit your vision for living beyond illness. The way you show up for your life reflects an impenetrable desire to play the biggest role possible in your health, healing and happiness.

I believe that each and everyone one of us, without exception, can be that rising star living beyond illness*
