Breast Cancer and You Are Not the Problem

Breast cancer! Breast cancer!

My breast cancer is my problem! I have a breast cancer! The more you identify yourself with the problems that face you, the more difficult it will be for you to get past them. If your whole identity wrapped up around your breast cancer, hence, you are creating limitations for yourself. In addition, the next thought that crosses your mind is how you can ever be free of your breast cancer.

There is a part of you that exists beyond any limitation. Let that part of you dominate your thoughts, your words, and your actions.

Even though, you are experiencing problems in your life now, how about considering them as challenges instead of problems. Do not allow those challenges to define who you are. Operate from a level that is above all the problems. Operate your life from your soul, for it is from that perspective that you will successfully transcend them all.

If you think of yourself as a problem, that is what you will always be and experiencing more problems. Yet when you think of yourself as somebody who has a challenge that needs to be overcome who is having trouble now, you are sure to work your way successfully past those challenges.

See yourself as a person who has obstacle to overcome, as a person who
creates value out of difficult situations and learn from it. See the challenges and limitations not as permanent parts of you, but as stepping - stones on the path to self-growth and spiritual enlightenment and richer fulfillment of your greatest dreams.

You are not your problems and they are not you. You can choose to
express your own unique value no matter what your circumstances may be, with breast cancer or mastectomy.

I love you just the way you are!
