Coming Back from the hole. Entrando de nuevo al mundo

Hypothyroidism can be a profoundly crippling condition. Even with medication, it can swing you to extremes and leave you shattered. Yet, it should not paralyze me. After about two years of conscious efforts against it, the path is clearer, and this I say daily to myself:

"Simply retrying will not do. The essence of coming back is recapturing the dreams once lost; it is becoming inspired so intensely that you would feel it in the bones; It is remembering wisely: remembering the victories with bliss so it would be easy to repeat them, but coldly citing the failures to learn from them without letting them get to you; it is believing in yourself so it would seem you are going to explode with the urge of getting things done; it is falling into routines that would help maintain this attitude; it is surrounding yourself with people who believe in you and keeping those relationships healthy; it is plowing away each day with doable challenges and celebrating even the smallest of the accomplishments; it is getting to work right now!"
