Last Paragraph of Chapter 10: Anchor For My Soul

Anchor for my Soul

This rare and little known disease caused me to lose my family, my friends, my children’s home, my self-worth, my self-confidence, my passion, my money, my trust in people, and my need to save the world.

But it gave me self-knowledge, resilience, peace within myself, a greater capacity to love and to forgive, determination, persistence and motivation to be the best person I can be and finally, it taught me to choose only those fights that I have a chance of winning.

Nothing is the same…It is as though I was shook up and put together in a thousand different ways.

I did learn one thing that is very important. You don’t learn humility by being humiliated – you learn humility by being with people who are humble.
