Breast Cancer Survivors

I prefer to call all of us “Champions” even though more people seem to recognize the term survivors.   I believe we are all champions because we had a battle and met it with success.  In my case, it was three times.  It was interesting to me that many people totally changed how they lived their lives after their diagnosis.  I kept on doing what I had been because it was what I loved to do.  Why anybody would choose to do something they disliked or work for a company that didn’t respect them, was always beyond my imagination.  Now, I don’t live in a dream world or feel if you are a single parent surviving on your own that you can always make the perfect choice, but in the majority of cases, people seem to have totally changed their lifestyle.

I want to encourage all of you to look at your life and re-evaluate who your friends are, where you spend your time, if there’s a new skill you want to learn, a new country you’d like to visit, or if you are working at something that really has meaning for you.  It is never too early or late to make changes, and there’s no time better than right now.  Live your dream on a daily basis.  Contribute to yourself and others and you’ll always be challenged to do more.
