🌿 *Happiness is not about what happens to you. It's about what you choose to become.* Yesterday, I met a 70-year-old woman diagnosed with *Motor Neuron Disease (MND)* — a degenerative disorder that weakens the body's ability to move, speak, and even swallow. She had: 🧠 Bulbar onset symptoms (difficulty in speaking and swallowing) 🥣 A feeding tube (PEG) inserted recently And yet… She entered my clinic *smiling.* Her daughter and son-in-law stood beside her — *beaming with positivity.* They knew the truth. They knew the prognosis. They knew time was limited. But *they chose joy.* They chose love. They chose life. --- 💬 *This encounter taught me a powerful truth:* We all know we are going to die someday. But *we forget how to live today.* Happiness is *not* determined by: ❌ Perfect health ❌ Riches ❌ Absence of suffering It is determined by: ✅ Your attitude ✅ Your acceptance ✅ Your ability to love despite everything --- ✨ *We all carry battles inside us.* ✨ *We all face storms invisible to others.* But happiness... _is still our sacred choice._ 🧠💛 *Your situation doesn't define your spirit. Your spirit defines your situation.* Choose wisely. Choose joy. Every single day.
