Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 167483" data-attributes="member: 15325">What motivates me.........?I DO !  I have always had a positive outlook on life and all it throws at me. A challenge is just that something to be looked at, dealt with and then get on with living again. It isn't just motivation, it needs willpower to be able to bounce back from the 'sticks and stones' life throws at you. I try not to get disheartened whatever I have to do, whatever happens. Over the many years I have been Diabetic, I got progressively worse, more unhealthy and I even got to the stage where I was guessing how many years I had left under my belt ! Then I realised, that was a negative way of thinking.......so, I now think do what you need, do what you can and never look back. Look after your health even if it means you have to do repetitive things, testing, monitoring, carb counting etc.  Every one of those things will add years to your life. A life to enjoy, whatever happens !I have had a Heart Op, knee op, serious depression and various minor, and not so minor procedures over the years. I recently was diagnosed with Cancer......in remission so hope I beat that one.  What motivates me is the desire to live life to the full, never give up and just plough through the 'bad' bits.Life is fun........I want it to stay that way....... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
