Change

This year, I have made a few changes.  Truthfully, I had, had enough of the lameness that was freezing my previous life.  Everyday felt the same, meeting the same people, and doing the same things. Over and over again.

Enough was enough. 

Firstly, I knew I had to change the way I perceived mistakes and that one change made all the difference all on its own.

My life feels more exciting than ever.  This year I have met some awesome people and done some awesome things.

Along with this, obviously I have also undergone a lot of treatment, some through temporary Vas Caths in my neck and then I had my permanent chest line inserted. 

Like everyone, I also make a few mistakes, which I think are necessary in life. 
Making mistakes allows me to build up a massive amount of experience, this experience builds up my knowledge allowing me to do new things.

This year I have also had to do new things, the agreement for the chest line was a simple one to make, I have no venous access left but knowing the line is permanent means it will be life changing, no gym, no swimming, no golf, no tennis, no weights, the list is bloody endless.  I still really had no choice, I need treatment so I needed the line.  I had to expand my comfort zone and courageously move forward. 
I can't always do epic things like get a permanent chest line, you cannot always do epic things everyday, but I know this sounds absolutely barking but I do one thing everyday that really makes me feel uncomfortable.  Whenever there’s an opportunity to do something I have never done before, I say yes.

Making mistakes really to me, means I am learning, and making many mistakes means I am learning even faster. Every single morning I ask myself: what will today bring?
I believe that every challenge I tackle expands my horizons and opens up new possibilities for me.

Eight months into this year I know that today will be better than yesterday, because I have learned a new lesson.
