What got me through all the tough times was the deep faith that I was going to make it through the disease ... I focused on the big picture in life and felt that I needed to be here for a lot of reasons, like my daughter Chloe. I am lucky to be here. Just living every day is incredible; there’s a resilience deep down that you don’t realise you have until you go through something like this.

Lesson from Chapter Eleven

BE GRATEFUL EVERY DAY

Being grateful every day may not be easy to start with, depending on your circumstances, but it will have the most amazing impact on your attitude and hence your life. It is easy for us to think of obvious things we are grateful for, like our family, our friends, our job, our home, our health, etc. It is more challenging for us to be grateful for adversity in our life. However, if we look beneath the surface we will always find a way. What if instead of hating electricity bills we could be grateful for the power it provides? When paying our rent or our mortgage we can be grateful that we have a roof over our head. It is easy to get cranky when we are sick unless we are grateful that our body is telling us that it needs a rest. Are we devastated when we lose money or are we grateful that we can make more? Do we complain that our partner nags us or are we extraordinarily grateful that they love us enough to say anything? In absolutely every situation there is a reason to be grateful—our challenge is to find it. What if we could get into the habit of writing down every day a list of five or ten people or things for which we are grateful? What an incredibly positive and powerful way to start the day.
