You said, "If I had a chronic condition, I would fight it as best I could, and try to go on with my life." I agree absolutely, that is exactly what I have done with my chronic lung & pain conditions.

What I meant by "embracing" my condition was to seek expert counsel & treatment, make sensible adaptations, accept a level of risk, and get on with life. For example, I accept that I can no longer spend many hours in a day working in my gardens, so I simplify, I hire help, and I ignore a few weeds. I teach others from my lifetime of education & experience. I satisfy my desire for color and beauty by working on my fiber art & painting skills. I accept that can no longer hike or bike at altitude, but I can still do it in lower elevations. Or I can do it more slowly, appreciating beauty, photographing ideas for my artwork, chatting with friends.

Roberto's words at the beginning of this discussion, "It may impact how we embrace change and living conditions, including disease, and create a way to achieve contentment and balance, which is the essence of health" are at the heart of this concept. I have watched many people, on Connect & in my life, wear themselves out, put their lives on hold & fight chronic conditions that cannot be changed, only accepted. Instead the energy could have been devoted to accepting that their life has changed, and figured out how to make that work.

Perhaps nothing has crossed you path in life that necessitates change at this time. For you it might just be a concept to keep in mind for the future.
