This is really a great post, I enjoy your message as well as your crisp, clear writing style. It's all too easy to fall into the 'defeated' mindset as you said. I have long suffered from back pain that leaves me tired, frustrated, and demotivated, and for a long time I used it as an excuse to not live up to my potential. By reframing it as another obstacle along the way to success, and one I had to prioritize getting over I stopped being a victim of it, and regained control over my life. After years of struggling, doing my best to introduce habits that would help get rid of my back problems once and for all and learning to deal with it, I have finally gotten to a place where I'm almost totally rid of it. I know that because of this mindset and my new habits it will not be able to defeat me again, and I am prepared for future obstacles because of it. Now instead of looking at it like an oppressor, I look at it like a blessing, a teacher that has made me better with tough love. My dream is to continue to live well, to be healthy and useful to my fellow people, and to create a good life for myself and my family.
