Motivation Monday:  Michael J. Fox

Making Lemonade

Picture
Parkinson's disease sucks (okay, a lot of diseases suck, that's why they're called...wait for it...diseases). 
My Grandmother had it. I thinks she was in her seventies when she was diagnosed. Self-centered as I was (um, am), I don't remember much about what that was like for her, only that Mamaw was drifting away from us. She ultimately decided she needed to live in a facility with full time care, until she died in 1992. 
A few years later, actor Michael J. Fox announced that he was suffering from Parkinson's. He was twenty-nine when he was diagnosed, and that completely blew my mind. He was so young! He's still so young!  And he's taking this shitty situation and using his resources to help find better treatments and a cure. He's probably not going to be cured, but he's trying to help other people who might be in the future. 
He was on CBS This Morning talking about his life and his mission. Check it out.

Motivation is definitely what I am lacking. I have not done anything noteworthy in my entire life, and that is what makes me want to cry all day. All I do is feel sorry about myself and obsess about what other people are doing, and it is toxic. I want to be someone who I can be proud of, and I just do not see it happening anytime soon. I hope that I can be motivated just like other people.
