Illness or Disability

Count Tyrone Rugen pointed out, “If you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything.” While I wouldn’t say anything, it’s quite true that few things can impair or derail progress toward one’s desired objectives quite like the body’s refusal to play ball (views of choosing one’s reality, etc., nothwithstanding ~ sometimes a cigar is just a cigar). The key is respecting the physical without being defined by it, keeping the discouragement from taking hold as depression, and doing as much as you can whenever you can. Following are excellent illustrations of people meeting the challenge head-on, or instead allowing it to underpin their undoing.
