Och, Andy! How many of your compatriots learned to love wilderness adventure after that "racing" mentality? Gadzooks! Where you ended up, seeking and finding the gift so very oddly wrapped, is the best place to end up when the cause of suffering is beyond your control. Attitude within suffering controls everything is is always a choice within our grasp if we but know it.
A huge part of my ministry to others with brain injury is to help them come to that realization. Yes, it's a long hard road. So what? It's the road you have and you can have whatever attitude you choose along the way. You can enjoy the view, the flowers, the stunning scents of new spring loam waking from under the melting snow, or you can allow fear and death to consume and define you. Which version do you think will be more fruitful, healing, joyous, and enjoyable? So while I never expect others to learn from suffering, I always strive to help them see the opportunity and take it if they choose. If I read you aright, that sounds like what you do as well, and that is a beautiful gift. And who knows, gifts like that often bloom out of sight of the one who planted the seed. Grin.
