nothing is wrong

Here is a thought from Neale Donald Walsh:
Nothing is wrong. Every experience or trial is here to help me learn who I am and give opportunities to demonstrate myself; to give others my abundant qualities.

That is a pretty profound thought. Things go wrong all the time, right? Well, Neale says no. Life happens. The things that we feel are wrong are simply things that need to be seen in a different light.

Multiple sclerosis is one of those things for me. I am trying to see it in a new way. This disease is giving me a unique experience. It is teaching me a lot. I might want to argue because I don't like what I see – it must be wrong. Okay, maybe not. It is helping me learn about myself and be brave enough to share my experience with others. It is also the main reason I pursue spirituality. I'm looking for comfort and support. I have found that in God and the spiritual world generally.

I'm changing another word, also. A friend pointed out that by using the phrase MY MS I'm expressing ownership. I will be much happier to claim ownership of MY MIRACLE when it occurs.

So, I'm changing the words "struggle" to "experience" and "my" to "this." MS is no longer my struggle, my suffering. MS is this disease that I am dealing with right now. This MS is an experience that has given me quite a lot, and I look forward to the day this MS is simply a memory.

Change your thoughts and you change your world. – Norman Vincent Peale
It is no small task to change your thoughts, but it is amazing how your world changes when you are able to see it in a different light.
