Failure is not fatal; success is not final; never give up

This is a quote from Winston Churchill.

During World War One, he failed horribly at the battle of Gallipoli.
He fell into a depression, which he called "the black dog," but he got his act together somehow, brushed himself off, and co-led the Allied efforts in World War Two.
During the Battle of Britain and during the entire war, he never gave up.

If he can do it, then so can I! I'm not fighting the entire world, just my body!

Anne,

Even though it's easier said than done, try embracing your body for the good it has given you, instead of fighting it. Try meditating on all those benefits that your physical body has provided to you. You may very well surprise yourself.

We know from personal experience that pain, physical limitations, and disabilities can be stressful. We may not be able to eliminate those things, but we can learn to manage them. That means accepting what we can't change and maximizing the rest. For example, you have a sense of humor, and laughter helps.

All of which brings me to another favorite quote:

Gravity doesn't care.
