4. You can learn from your health challenge and become a better human being.

You likely have more information about what to do with your car or dishwasher when it breaks than how to deal psychologically, spiritually, and emotionally with a health challenge and all its implications. You may have not consciously chosen your physical situation, but you can choose how you respond, what you learn, how you are with other people, and how you live each day. Do not make the mistake of thinking that physical health is all you need in order to be happy, or that without physical health, you cannot have the outlook and attitude that vibrant Love can bring. A miracle has occurred when some­thing that was causing us upset and conflict is transformed into something that deepens our experience of growth, healing, love, and meaning. This miracle can happen today.
