Death sentence

I read a story of someone who was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes at 38. Instead of accepting things as they were, she became disciplined in what she ate, exercised, monitored her blood sugar, and turned her whole life around. She lost 100 pounds, is now expecting her first child, and is in love. 

She said the diabetes ended up being the best thing to ever happen to her. 

Not every bad outcome is a death sentence. And while we can’t see the end of our journey, sometimes a near-death experience, a mistake, a lost job, the end of a relationship, or a diagnosis could be the end of one thing and just the beginning of something else that is great and wonderful. It could, in fact, be the catalyst for change.
