TURN UP

2 years ago I was told the horrible news that I required a 4 cycle (12 week) chemotherapy treatment. (Etoposide & Cisplatin)

My life was going to be put on hold for 10 months.
There were millions of thoughts that erratically ran through my mind.
Two of the scariest thoughts I had. Will I be the same person post chemotherapy?
Am I going to get a second chance at the thing we call life?

In life no matter what our end goals are, staying consistent, keeping our life structured, holding yourself accountable are all key factors helping us get to where we want to be.

“what keeps you moving towards your end goal”.

Whether it be going to school on time, winning a grand final, completing a uni assignment, saving for a house or fighting a horrible disease.

Have a think about what keeps you moving forward, in the direction of your end goal.

Write down:
* The things that will pick you up when the going gets tough.
* The things that will help keep you moving forward.
* What will keep your mindset positive?
* What gives you belief that you will reach your end goal?

Recently i found my diary.

The only thoughts I take away from my diary two years post an experience that changed my life is that I wasn’t ok.
Sometimes we will get dealt some of the toughest challenges in life and we will have no option but to persevere and hold on to hope for better days ahead.

Eventually they do come.

Think positive.
Stay positive.
Moving is medicine.
Run your race.
Just put one foot in front of the other.

Anyone can reach there goals
The first step in my opinion…
Turn up.

Life really is so precious.
Onenut.
